INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (824,1,'2023-11-07 12:43:09','2023-11-07 12:43:09','In-vitro fertilization is the process of fertilization where an egg is combined with a sperm under in vitro or laboratory conditions. This technique is a boon for all those childless couples who have failed to conceive and give birth to a baby through the natural process. IVF is especially beneficial in case of PCOS, blocked uterine tubes, fibroids, endometriosis, low ovarian reserve, and poor egg or sperm health. However, sometimes this procedure may not work out as planned and result in a failed IVF. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Common reasons for IVF failure</strong>\r\n\r\nThis section talks about the many reasons that can contribute to a failed IVF procedure. Each of these causes of failure are dealt with in detail as mentioned below:\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Age of female: </li>Women above the age of 35 often find it difficult to conceive. The quality and quantity of the egg also deteriorate with advancing age, making your chances of becoming pregnant less. It is noted that live birth rates for IVF are only 40% for women above the age of 35 years. \r\n<li>Quality of embryo: </li>This is one of the leading causes of IVF failure. The embryos may appear to be healthy under laboratory conditions but they fail to get implanted into the uterus as they do not get the right environment to grow. \r\n<li>Ovarian response: </li>IVF treatment requires a woman to daily inject a fertility hormone called follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). This hormone is responsible for increasing egg production. Sometimes, the woman’s ovaries do not respond in the way expected and thus, fail to produce multiple eggs for collection. Older women are more prone to have this condition of low ovarian reserve.\r\n<li>Implantation failure: </li>If the egg fails to get implanted in the uterus, the IVF fails. Several reasons could contribute to the failure of implantation including a premature increase in progesterone levels, infection of the uterus, presence of uterine polyps, or an endometrial lining that is too thin. \r\n<li>Autoimmune disorders: </li>An autoimmune disorder can also cause the embryo implantation to fail as the antibodies may start attacking healthy cells or tissues. In the case of IVF (embryo implantation), the immune system may mistakenly recognize the embryo as invading tissues and attack it.\r\n<li>Chromosomal issues: </li>It is characterized by the presence of an extra or missing chromosome and is often, one of the major causes for IVF implantation failures. Women in their mid or late 30s are most likely to develop chromosomal abnormalities. Therefore, women who have had multiple implantation failures, are generally advised to undergo preimplantation genetic screening.\r\n<li>Sperm abnormality: </li>Any irregularity in the structure of the sperm will lead to an unfertilized egg as the sperm fails to penetrate the egg’s outer membrane. This results in the failure of the IVF procedure. \r\n<li>Lifestyle:</li> Unhealthy lifestyle practices such as smoking that fertility specialists advise to get rid of in case of natural pregnancies, also apply to women who undergo an IVF. Consumption of alcohol and having a bad nutritional diet are also contributing factors to multiple conception failures. IVF cycle outcomes can also be affected if the woman undergoing IVF is underweight or overweight.\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>After IVF failure: What next?</strong>\r\n<img src=\"\">\r\nIf your first IVF cycle has failed, it may be useful to find out the reason behind its failure. It may have been due to the woman’s maternal age, cause and duration of infertility, history of previous pregnancies, male factor (sperm count and quality), and lifestyle influence. The younger the age of the woman, the greater is the possibility of an IVF to succeed. A woman in her 20s has 60-70% higher chances of conceiving in the very first in-vitro cycle. In case of a first-time IVF failure, your fertility specialist would generally recommend you to undergo another cycle because with every cycle, the chances of a woman to conceive become more. \r\nIn case of two failed in-vitro cycles, the couple needs to undergo another cycle, after determining the cause of failure during the previous two cycles. However, a third-time IVF failure can only mean an underlying condition that is disrupting the in-vitro implantation, leading to repeated failure. In such cases, it is advisable to opt for a more specific and advanced pregnancy treatment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Advanced treatments after multiple IVF failures</strong>\r\n\r\nDespite having recurrent IVF failures, there is still hope of conceiving with the other advanced treatment options now available. These pregnancy procedures can be carried out once your fertility specialist has analyzed your previous cycles to rule out the reason behind the IVF failure. \r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Frozen embryo transfer:</li> FET is a procedure in which healthy embryos (blastocysts) from a previous in-vitro cycle are frozen and preserved for use at a later time. This technique is fast gaining popularity over conventional in-vitro cycles. \r\n<li>Intracytoplasmic sperm injection: </li>Often abbreviated as ICSI, this is an advancement in the conventional IVF procedure. During this procedure, the egg is directly fertilized by injecting with a single live sperm. ICSI is a good option for couples where the male suffers from male factor infertility. \r\n<li>Intracytoplasmic morphologically-selected sperm injection: </li>IMSI is another advancement in the traditional IVF procedure. It is similar to ICSI except that in IMSI, the sperm is first analyzed under high magnification to select only the sperm which has the best morphology. This procedure is helpful in case the male partner’s sperm has quality issues. \r\nTreatment of immunological causes of infertility before proceeding with the next cycle.\r\nPreimplantation genetic testing of embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before embryo transfer.\r\n\r\nWith the latest medical advancements in the field of fertility treatment, it is now possible for a woman to conceive in spite of multiple IVF failures. However, it is important to let your fertility specialist run a battery of tests on you and your partner to ascertain the cause behind IVF failure.

class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\">What is social egg freezing?</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2318441321.png\" alt=\" Happy Pregnant Woman - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\nSocial egg freezing is the process of obtaining the eggs of a healthy and fertile woman, followed by the freezing and preservation of these eggs to have a pregnancy later on in life, typically after 35 years when fertility potential decreases. Ideally, it is performed on women aged 25 to 35 to increase the likelihood of a future pregnancy. Egg freezing can be performed using slow-frozen or flash-frozen protocols; however, the latter method has been found to enhance oocyte survival after thawing and has been associated with an increase in pregnancy rates. It is, therefore, the recommended method of <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/embryo-transfer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">egg freezing</a> as certified by the medical associations.\n\n<!--more-->\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\">Suitable candidates for egg freezing</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1233205303.png\" alt=\"Women Working on Laptop - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\nIf you\'re a woman between the age of 25 and 35 who wants to start a family but can\'t do it right now, egg freezing might be a good option for you. If you\'re undergoing any invasive treatments, such as chemotherapy, that can reduce the fertility of your eggs, egg freezing might be the best option. It\'s also a good option for women whose ovaries have been removed or other diseases have affected their reproductive health.\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\">Benefits of social egg freezing</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_566796565.png\" alt=\"Women Working on Laptop - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\n<ul>The process of social egg freezing followed by IVF and embryo transfer provides significant advantages for women who expect to become pregnant in their later years of life. These include:\n 	<li><b>Fertility preservation: </b>By freezing eggs, individuals can increase their chances of conceiving a healthy baby in the future and provide them with the possibility of becoming a genetic parent.</li>\n 	<li><b>Giving birth to a healthy child: </b>The earlier eggs are retrieved, particularly up to 35 years of age, the greater the likelihood of the fertilised egg developing into a healthy embryo, thus reducing the risk of chromosomal abnormalities.</li>\n 	<li><b>Peace of mind: </b>Egg freezing is not a guarantee of future pregnancy, but it significantly increases your chances of becoming pregnant in the later stages of life, ensuring peace of mind.</li>\n 	<li><b>Preventive step: </b>Egg freezing can also be used as a preventative measure before an invasive treatment or operation, allowing individuals to prepare for assisted reproduction treatments in the event of a natural conception being compromised.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\">Risks associated with social egg freezing</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1671926113.png\" alt=\"Pregnant Women Monitor Blood Pressure - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\nIt is important to know about the health risks associated with ovarian stimulation or egg retrieval. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome may be the most significant medical risk associated with egg freezing. Mild to moderate ovarian hyperstimulation symptoms may include tiredness, nausea, headache, abdominal discomfort, tenderness, and irritability. These side effects are usually managed conservatively. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome can be prevented by careful monitoring of the egg stimulation cycle and when done by experienced specialists.\nWomen who attempt to conceive through the use of their frozen-thawed eggs usually have healthy children. The risk of abnormality in the baby is almost similar to a child conceived naturally.\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\">Societal implications of social egg freezing</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2322077927.png\" alt=\" Egg Freezing - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\nThe increased visibility of social egg freezing in the media may lead to an increase in the number of young women opting to freeze their eggs to secure the possibility of having a genetically related child.\nSocial egg freezing is often presented as a ‘back-up’ that provides young fertile women with the opportunity to pursue long-term relationships, finish their education, become financially secure, or progress in their careers without worrying about their fertility in the future. This can have a significant impact on the way some women think about their reproductive choices.\nChanging the way women are seen in society requires a strategic shift in mindset to reduce the negative consequences. It takes a collective braided effort from all sides of society to make a big change, and social egg-freezing is one way to do that.\n\n<a style=\"color: blue !important;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NU Fertility</a> at NU Hospitals, Bangalore, India offers the best fertility treatment.

freezing?</h2>\r\nSocial egg freezing is the process of obtaining the eggs of a healthy and fertile woman, followed by the freezing and preservation of these eggs to have a pregnancy later on in life, typically after 35 years when fertility potential decreases. Ideally, it is performed on women aged 25 to 35 to increase the likelihood of a future pregnancy. Egg freezing can be performed using slow-frozen or flash-frozen protocols; however, the latter method has been found to enhance oocyte survival after thawing and has been associated with an increase in pregnancy rates. It is, therefore, the recommended method of <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/embryo-transfer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">egg freezing</a> as certified by the medical associations.\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\">Suitable candidates for egg freezing</h2>\r\nIf you\'re a woman between the age of 25 and 35 who wants to start a family but can\'t do it right now, egg freezing might be a good option for you. If you\'re undergoing any invasive treatments, such as chemotherapy, that can reduce the fertility of your eggs, egg freezing might be the best option. It\'s also a good option for women whose ovaries have been removed or other diseases have affected their reproductive health.\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\">Benefits of social egg freezing</h2>\r\nThe process of social egg freezing followed by IVF and embryo transfer provides significant advantages for women who expect to become pregnant in their later years of life. These include:\r\nFertility preservation: By freezing eggs, individuals can increase their chances of conceiving a healthy baby in the future and provide them with the possibility of becoming a genetic parent.\r\nGiving birth to a healthy child: The earlier eggs are retrieved, particularly up to 35 years of age, the greater the likelihood of the fertilised egg developing into a healthy embryo, thus reducing the risk of chromosomal abnormalities.\r\nPeace of mind: Egg freezing is not a guarantee of future pregnancy, but it significantly increases your chances of becoming pregnant in the later stages of life, ensuring peace of mind.\r\nPreventive step: Egg freezing can also be used as a preventative measure before an invasive treatment or operation, allowing individuals to prepare for assisted reproduction treatments in the event of a natural conception being compromised.\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\">Risks associated with social egg freezing</h2>\r\nIt is important to know about the health risks associated with ovarian stimulation or egg retrieval. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome may be the most significant medical risk associated with egg freezing. Mild to moderate ovarian hyperstimulation symptoms may include tiredness, nausea, headache, abdominal discomfort, tenderness, and irritability. These side effects are usually managed conservatively. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome can be prevented by careful monitoring of the egg stimulation cycle and when done by experienced specialists.\r\nWomen who attempt to conceive through the use of their frozen-thawed eggs usually have healthy children. The risk of abnormality in the baby is almost similar to a child conceived naturally.\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\">Societal implications of social egg freezing</h2>\r\nThe increased visibility of social egg freezing in the media may lead to an increase in the number of young women opting to freeze their eggs to secure the possibility of having a genetically related child.\r\nSocial egg freezing is often presented as a ‘back-up’ that provides young fertile women with the opportunity to pursue long-term relationships, finish their education, become financially secure, or progress in their careers without worrying about their fertility in the future. This can have a significant impact on the way some women think about their reproductive choices.\r\nChanging the way women are seen in society requires a strategic shift in mindset to reduce the negative consequences. It takes a collective braided effort from all sides of society to make a big change, and social egg-freezing is one way to do that.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NU Fertility</a> at NU Hospitals, Bangalore, India offers the best fertility treatment.

style=\"width: 100%;\">What is social egg freezing?</h2>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2318441321.png\">\r\nSocial egg freezing is the process of obtaining the eggs of a healthy and fertile woman, followed by the freezing and preservation of these eggs to have a pregnancy later on in life, typically after 35 years when fertility potential decreases. Ideally, it is performed on women aged 25 to 35 to increase the likelihood of a future pregnancy. Egg freezing can be performed using slow-frozen or flash-frozen protocols; however, the latter method has been found to enhance oocyte survival after thawing and has been associated with an increase in pregnancy rates. It is, therefore, the recommended method of <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/embryo-transfer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">egg freezing</a> as certified by the medical associations.\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\">Suitable candidates for egg freezing</h2>\r\nIf you\'re a woman between the age of 25 and 35 who wants to start a family but can\'t do it right now, egg freezing might be a good option for you. If you\'re undergoing any invasive treatments, such as chemotherapy, that can reduce the fertility of your eggs, egg freezing might be the best option. It\'s also a good option for women whose ovaries have been removed or other diseases have affected their reproductive health.\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\">Benefits of social egg freezing</h2>\r\nThe process of social egg freezing followed by IVF and embryo transfer provides significant advantages for women who expect to become pregnant in their later years of life. These include:\r\nFertility preservation: By freezing eggs, individuals can increase their chances of conceiving a healthy baby in the future and provide them with the possibility of becoming a genetic parent.\r\nGiving birth to a healthy child: The earlier eggs are retrieved, particularly up to 35 years of age, the greater the likelihood of the fertilised egg developing into a healthy embryo, thus reducing the risk of chromosomal abnormalities.\r\nPeace of mind: Egg freezing is not a guarantee of future pregnancy, but it significantly increases your chances of becoming pregnant in the later stages of life, ensuring peace of mind.\r\nPreventive step: Egg freezing can also be used as a preventative measure before an invasive treatment or operation, allowing individuals to prepare for assisted reproduction treatments in the event of a natural conception being compromised.\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\">Risks associated with social egg freezing</h2>\r\nIt is important to know about the health risks associated with ovarian stimulation or egg retrieval. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome may be the most significant medical risk associated with egg freezing. Mild to moderate ovarian hyperstimulation symptoms may include tiredness, nausea, headache, abdominal discomfort, tenderness, and irritability. These side effects are usually managed conservatively. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome can be prevented by careful monitoring of the egg stimulation cycle and when done by experienced specialists.\r\nWomen who attempt to conceive through the use of their frozen-thawed eggs usually have healthy children. The risk of abnormality in the baby is almost similar to a child conceived naturally.\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\">Societal implications of social egg freezing</h2>\r\nThe increased visibility of social egg freezing in the media may lead to an increase in the number of young women opting to freeze their eggs to secure the possibility of having a genetically related child.\r\nSocial egg freezing is often presented as a ‘back-up’ that provides young fertile women with the opportunity to pursue long-term relationships, finish their education, become financially secure, or progress in their careers without worrying about their fertility in the future. This can have a significant impact on the way some women think about their reproductive choices.\r\nChanging the way women are seen in society requires a strategic shift in mindset to reduce the negative consequences. It takes a collective braided effort from all sides of society to make a big change, and social egg-freezing is one way to do that.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NU Fertility</a> at NU Hospitals, Bangalore, India offers the best fertility treatment.

freezing?</h2>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2318441321.png\">\r\nSocial egg freezing is the process of obtaining the eggs of a healthy and fertile woman, followed by the freezing and preservation of these eggs to have a pregnancy later on in life, typically after 35 years when fertility potential decreases. Ideally, it is performed on women aged 25 to 35 to increase the likelihood of a future pregnancy. Egg freezing can be performed using slow-frozen or flash-frozen protocols; however, the latter method has been found to enhance oocyte survival after thawing and has been associated with an increase in pregnancy rates. It is, therefore, the recommended method of <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/embryo-transfer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">egg freezing</a> as certified by the medical associations.\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\">Suitable candidates for egg freezing</h2>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1233205303.png\">\r\nIf you\'re a woman between the age of 25 and 35 who wants to start a family but can\'t do it right now, egg freezing might be a good option for you. If you\'re undergoing any invasive treatments, such as chemotherapy, that can reduce the fertility of your eggs, egg freezing might be the best option. It\'s also a good option for women whose ovaries have been removed or other diseases have affected their reproductive health.\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\">Benefits of social egg freezing</h2>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_566796565.png\">\r\nThe process of social egg freezing followed by IVF and embryo transfer provides significant advantages for women who expect to become pregnant in their later years of life. These include:\r\nFertility preservation: By freezing eggs, individuals can increase their chances of conceiving a healthy baby in the future and provide them with the possibility of becoming a genetic parent.\r\nGiving birth to a healthy child: The earlier eggs are retrieved, particularly up to 35 years of age, the greater the likelihood of the fertilised egg developing into a healthy embryo, thus reducing the risk of chromosomal abnormalities.\r\nPeace of mind: Egg freezing is not a guarantee of future pregnancy, but it significantly increases your chances of becoming pregnant in the later stages of life, ensuring peace of mind.\r\nPreventive step: Egg freezing can also be used as a preventative measure before an invasive treatment or operation, allowing individuals to prepare for assisted reproduction treatments in the event of a natural conception being compromised.\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\">Risks associated with social egg freezing</h2>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1671926113.png\">\r\nIt is important to know about the health risks associated with ovarian stimulation or egg retrieval. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome may be the most significant medical risk associated with egg freezing. Mild to moderate ovarian hyperstimulation symptoms may include tiredness, nausea, headache, abdominal discomfort, tenderness, and irritability. These side effects are usually managed conservatively. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome can be prevented by careful monitoring of the egg stimulation cycle and when done by experienced specialists.\r\nWomen who attempt to conceive through the use of their frozen-thawed eggs usually have healthy children. The risk of abnormality in the baby is almost similar to a child conceived naturally.\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\">Societal implications of social egg freezing</h2>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2322077927.png\">\r\nThe increased visibility of social egg freezing in the media may lead to an increase in the number of young women opting to freeze their eggs to secure the possibility of having a genetically related child.\r\nSocial egg freezing is often presented as a ‘back-up’ that provides young fertile women with the opportunity to pursue long-term relationships, finish their education, become financially secure, or progress in their careers without worrying about their fertility in the future. This can have a significant impact on the way some women think about their reproductive choices.\r\nChanging the way women are seen in society requires a strategic shift in mindset to reduce the negative consequences. It takes a collective braided effort from all sides of society to make a big change, and social egg-freezing is one way to do that.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NU Fertility</a> at NU Hospitals, Bangalore, India offers the best fertility treatment.

fertilization is the process of fertilization where an egg is combined with a sperm under in vitro or laboratory conditions. This technique is a boon for all those childless couples who have failed to conceive and give birth to a baby through the natural process. IVF is especially beneficial in case of PCOS, blocked uterine tubes, fibroids, endometriosis, low ovarian reserve, and poor egg or sperm health. However, sometimes this procedure may not work out as planned and result in a failed <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/ivf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IVF</a>.\n\n<!--more-->\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\">Common reasons for IVF failure</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\" alt=\"Dressed Asian Women - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\n\nThis section talks about the many reasons that can contribute to a failed <a style=\"color: blue !important;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/ivf\">IVF procedure</a>. Each of these causes of failure are dealt with in detail as mentioned below:\n<ul>\n 	<li><b>Age of female: </b></li>\n</ul>\nWomen above the age of 35 often find it difficult to conceive. The quality and quantity of the egg also deteriorate with advancing age, making your chances of becoming pregnant less. It is noted that live birth rates for IVF are only 40% for women above the age of 35 years.\n<ul>\n 	<li><b>Quality of embryo: </b></li>\n</ul>\nThis is one of the leading causes of IVF failure. The embryos may appear to be healthy under laboratory conditions but they fail to get implanted into the uterus as they do not get the right environment to grow.\n<ul>\n 	<li><b>Ovarian response: </b></li>\n</ul>\nIVF treatment requires a woman to daily inject a fertility hormone called follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). This hormone is responsible for increasing egg production. Sometimes, the woman’s ovaries do not respond in the way expected and thus, fail to produce multiple eggs for collection. Older women are more prone to have this condition of low ovarian reserve.\n<ul>\n 	<li><b>Implantation failure: </b></li>\n</ul>\nIf the egg fails to get implanted in the uterus, the IVF fails. Several reasons could contribute to the failure of implantation including a premature increase in progesterone levels, infection of the uterus, presence of uterine polyps, or an endometrial lining that is too thin.\n<ul>\n 	<li><b>Autoimmune disorders: </b></li>\n</ul>\nAn autoimmune disorder can also cause the embryo implantation to fail as the antibodies may start attacking healthy cells or tissues. In the case of IVF (embryo implantation), the immune system may mistakenly recognize the embryo as invading tissues and attack it.\n<ul>\n 	<li><b>Chromosomal issues: </b></li>\n</ul>\nIt is characterized by the presence of an extra or missing chromosome and is often, one of the major causes for IVF implantation failures. Women in their mid or late 30s are most likely to develop chromosomal abnormalities. Therefore, women who have had multiple implantation failures, are generally advised to undergo preimplantation genetic screening.\n<ul>\n 	<li><b>Sperm abnormality: </b></li>\n</ul>\nAny irregularity in the structure of the sperm will lead to an unfertilized egg as the sperm fails to penetrate the egg’s outer membrane. This results in the failure of the IVF procedure.\n<ul>\n 	<li><b>Lifestyle:</b></li>\n</ul>\nUnhealthy lifestyle practices such as smoking that fertility specialists advise to get rid of in case of natural pregnancies, also apply to women who undergo an IVF. Consumption of alcohol and having a bad nutritional diet are also contributing factors to multiple conception failures. IVF cycle outcomes can also be affected if the woman undergoing IVF is underweight or overweight.\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\">After IVF failure: What next?</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1470930050.png\" alt=\" In Vitro Fertilization Process - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\nIf your first IVF cycle has failed, it may be useful to find out the reason behind its failure. It may have been due to the woman’s maternal age, cause and duration of infertility, history of previous pregnancies, male factor (sperm count and quality), and lifestyle influence. The younger the age of the woman, the greater is the possibility of an IVF to succeed. A woman in her 20s has 60-70% higher chances of conceiving in the very first in-vitro cycle. In case of a first-time IVF failure, your fertility specialist would generally recommend you to undergo another cycle because with every cycle, the chances of a woman to conceive become more.\nIn case of two failed in-vitro cycles, the couple needs to undergo another cycle, after determining the cause of failure during the previous two cycles. However, a third-time IVF failure can only mean an underlying condition that is disrupting the in-vitro implantation, leading to repeated failure. In such cases, it is advisable to opt for a more specific and advanced pregnancy treatment.\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\">Advanced treatments after multiple IVF failures</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1303695934.png\" alt=\"Prefilled Pen Syringe - NU Fertility \" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\n\nDespite having recurrent IVF failures, there is still hope of conceiving with the other advanced treatment options now available. These pregnancy procedures can be carried out once your fertility specialist has analyzed your previous cycles to rule out the reason behind the IVF failure.\n<ul>\n 	<li><b>Frozen embryo transfer:</b></li>\n</ul>\nFET is a procedure in which healthy embryos (blastocysts) from a previous in-vitro cycle are frozen and preserved for use at a later time. This technique is fast gaining popularity over conventional in-vitro cycles.\n<ul>\n 	<li><b>Intracytoplasmic sperm injection: </b></li>\n</ul>\nOften abbreviated as ICSI, this is an advancement in the conventional IVF procedure. During this procedure, the egg is directly fertilized by injecting with a single live sperm. ICSI is a good option for couples where the male suffers from male factor infertility.\n<ul>\n 	<li><b>Intracytoplasmic morphologically-selected sperm injection: </b></li>\n</ul>\nIMSI is another advancement in the traditional IVF procedure. It is similar to ICSI except that in IMSI, the sperm is first analyzed under high magnification to select only the sperm which has the best morphology. This procedure is helpful in case the male partner’s sperm has quality issues.\nTreatment of immunological causes of infertility before proceeding with the next cycle.\nPreimplantation genetic testing of embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before<a style=\"color: blue !important;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/embryo-transfer\"> embryo transfer</a>.\n\nWith the latest medical advancements in the field of fertility treatment, it is now possible for a woman to conceive in spite of multiple IVF failures.

vitro or laboratory conditions. This technique is a boon for all those childless couples who have failed to conceive and give birth to a baby through the natural process. IVF is especially beneficial in case of PCOS, blocked uterine tubes, fibroids, endometriosis, low ovarian reserve, and poor egg or sperm health. However, sometimes this procedure may not work out as planned and result in a failed IVF. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Common reasons for IVF failure</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\">\r\n\r\nThis section talks about the many reasons that can contribute to a failed IVF procedure. Each of these causes of failure are dealt with in detail as mentioned below:\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Age of female: </li>Women above the age of 35 often find it difficult to conceive. The quality and quantity of the egg also deteriorate with advancing age, making your chances of becoming pregnant less. It is noted that live birth rates for IVF are only 40% for women above the age of 35 years. \r\n<li>Quality of embryo: </li>This is one of the leading causes of IVF failure. The embryos may appear to be healthy under laboratory conditions but they fail to get implanted into the uterus as they do not get the right environment to grow. \r\n<li>Ovarian response: </li>IVF treatment requires a woman to daily inject a fertility hormone called follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). This hormone is responsible for increasing egg production. Sometimes, the woman’s ovaries do not respond in the way expected and thus, fail to produce multiple eggs for collection. Older women are more prone to have this condition of low ovarian reserve.\r\n<li>Implantation failure: </li>If the egg fails to get implanted in the uterus, the IVF fails. Several reasons could contribute to the failure of implantation including a premature increase in progesterone levels, infection of the uterus, presence of uterine polyps, or an endometrial lining that is too thin. \r\n<li>Autoimmune disorders: </li>An autoimmune disorder can also cause the embryo implantation to fail as the antibodies may start attacking healthy cells or tissues. In the case of IVF (embryo implantation), the immune system may mistakenly recognize the embryo as invading tissues and attack it.\r\n<li>Chromosomal issues: </li>It is characterized by the presence of an extra or missing chromosome and is often, one of the major causes for IVF implantation failures. Women in their mid or late 30s are most likely to develop chromosomal abnormalities. Therefore, women who have had multiple implantation failures, are generally advised to undergo preimplantation genetic screening.\r\n<li>Sperm abnormality: </li>Any irregularity in the structure of the sperm will lead to an unfertilized egg as the sperm fails to penetrate the egg’s outer membrane. This results in the failure of the IVF procedure. \r\n<li>Lifestyle:</li> Unhealthy lifestyle practices such as smoking that fertility specialists advise to get rid of in case of natural pregnancies, also apply to women who undergo an IVF. Consumption of alcohol and having a bad nutritional diet are also contributing factors to multiple conception failures. IVF cycle outcomes can also be affected if the woman undergoing IVF is underweight or overweight.\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>After IVF failure: What next?</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1470930050.png\">\r\nIf your first IVF cycle has failed, it may be useful to find out the reason behind its failure. It may have been due to the woman’s maternal age, cause and duration of infertility, history of previous pregnancies, male factor (sperm count and quality), and lifestyle influence. The younger the age of the woman, the greater is the possibility of an IVF to succeed. A woman in her 20s has 60-70% higher chances of conceiving in the very first in-vitro cycle. In case of a first-time IVF failure, your fertility specialist would generally recommend you to undergo another cycle because with every cycle, the chances of a woman to conceive become more. \r\nIn case of two failed in-vitro cycles, the couple needs to undergo another cycle, after determining the cause of failure during the previous two cycles. However, a third-time IVF failure can only mean an underlying condition that is disrupting the in-vitro implantation, leading to repeated failure. In such cases, it is advisable to opt for a more specific and advanced pregnancy treatment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Advanced treatments after multiple IVF failures</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1303695934.png\">\r\n\r\nDespite having recurrent IVF failures, there is still hope of conceiving with the other advanced treatment options now available. These pregnancy procedures can be carried out once your fertility specialist has analyzed your previous cycles to rule out the reason behind the IVF failure. \r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Frozen embryo transfer:</li> FET is a procedure in which healthy embryos (blastocysts) from a previous in-vitro cycle are frozen and preserved for use at a later time. This technique is fast gaining popularity over conventional in-vitro cycles. \r\n<li>Intracytoplasmic sperm injection: </li>Often abbreviated as ICSI, this is an advancement in the conventional IVF procedure. During this procedure, the egg is directly fertilized by injecting with a single live sperm. ICSI is a good option for couples where the male suffers from male factor infertility. \r\n<li>Intracytoplasmic morphologically-selected sperm injection: </li>IMSI is another advancement in the traditional IVF procedure. It is similar to ICSI except that in IMSI, the sperm is first analyzed under high magnification to select only the sperm which has the best morphology. This procedure is helpful in case the male partner’s sperm has quality issues. \r\nTreatment of immunological causes of infertility before proceeding with the next cycle.\r\nPreimplantation genetic testing of embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before embryo transfer.\r\n\r\nWith the latest medical advancements in the field of fertility treatment, it is now possible for a woman to conceive in spite of multiple IVF failures. However, it is important to let your fertility specialist run a battery of tests on you and your partner to ascertain the cause behind IVF failure.

an egg is combined with a sperm under in vitro or laboratory conditions. This technique is a boon for all those childless couples who have failed to conceive and give birth to a baby through the natural process. IVF is especially beneficial in case of PCOS, blocked uterine tubes, fibroids, endometriosis, low ovarian reserve, and poor egg or sperm health. However, sometimes this procedure may not work out as planned and result in a failed IVF. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Common reasons for IVF failure</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\">\r\n\r\nThis section talks about the many reasons that can contribute to a failed IVF procedure. Each of these causes of failure are dealt with in detail as mentioned below:\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Age of female: </li>Women above the age of 35 often find it difficult to conceive. The quality and quantity of the egg also deteriorate with advancing age, making your chances of becoming pregnant less. It is noted that live birth rates for IVF are only 40% for women above the age of 35 years. \r\n<li>Quality of embryo: </li>This is one of the leading causes of IVF failure. The embryos may appear to be healthy under laboratory conditions but they fail to get implanted into the uterus as they do not get the right environment to grow. \r\n<li>Ovarian response: </li>IVF treatment requires a woman to daily inject a fertility hormone called follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). This hormone is responsible for increasing egg production. Sometimes, the woman’s ovaries do not respond in the way expected and thus, fail to produce multiple eggs for collection. Older women are more prone to have this condition of low ovarian reserve.\r\n<li>Implantation failure: </li>If the egg fails to get implanted in the uterus, the IVF fails. Several reasons could contribute to the failure of implantation including a premature increase in progesterone levels, infection of the uterus, presence of uterine polyps, or an endometrial lining that is too thin. \r\n<li>Autoimmune disorders: </li>An autoimmune disorder can also cause the embryo implantation to fail as the antibodies may start attacking healthy cells or tissues. In the case of IVF (embryo implantation), the immune system may mistakenly recognize the embryo as invading tissues and attack it.\r\n<li>Chromosomal issues: </li>It is characterized by the presence of an extra or missing chromosome and is often, one of the major causes for IVF implantation failures. Women in their mid or late 30s are most likely to develop chromosomal abnormalities. Therefore, women who have had multiple implantation failures, are generally advised to undergo preimplantation genetic screening.\r\n<li>Sperm abnormality: </li>Any irregularity in the structure of the sperm will lead to an unfertilized egg as the sperm fails to penetrate the egg’s outer membrane. This results in the failure of the IVF procedure. \r\n<li>Lifestyle:</li> Unhealthy lifestyle practices such as smoking that fertility specialists advise to get rid of in case of natural pregnancies, also apply to women who undergo an IVF. Consumption of alcohol and having a bad nutritional diet are also contributing factors to multiple conception failures. IVF cycle outcomes can also be affected if the woman undergoing IVF is underweight or overweight.\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>After IVF failure: What next?</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1470930050.png\">\r\nIf your first IVF cycle has failed, it may be useful to find out the reason behind its failure. It may have been due to the woman’s maternal age, cause and duration of infertility, history of previous pregnancies, male factor (sperm count and quality), and lifestyle influence. The younger the age of the woman, the greater is the possibility of an IVF to succeed. A woman in her 20s has 60-70% higher chances of conceiving in the very first in-vitro cycle. In case of a first-time IVF failure, your fertility specialist would generally recommend you to undergo another cycle because with every cycle, the chances of a woman to conceive become more. \r\nIn case of two failed in-vitro cycles, the couple needs to undergo another cycle, after determining the cause of failure during the previous two cycles. However, a third-time IVF failure can only mean an underlying condition that is disrupting the in-vitro implantation, leading to repeated failure. In such cases, it is advisable to opt for a more specific and advanced pregnancy treatment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Advanced treatments after multiple IVF failures</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1303695934.png\">\r\n\r\nDespite having recurrent IVF failures, there is still hope of conceiving with the other advanced treatment options now available. These pregnancy procedures can be carried out once your fertility specialist has analyzed your previous cycles to rule out the reason behind the IVF failure. \r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Frozen embryo transfer:</li> FET is a procedure in which healthy embryos (blastocysts) from a previous in-vitro cycle are frozen and preserved for use at a later time. This technique is fast gaining popularity over conventional in-vitro cycles. \r\n<li>Intracytoplasmic sperm injection: </li>Often abbreviated as ICSI, this is an advancement in the conventional IVF procedure. During this procedure, the egg is directly fertilized by injecting with a single live sperm. ICSI is a good option for couples where the male suffers from male factor infertility. \r\n<li>Intracytoplasmic morphologically-selected sperm injection: </li>IMSI is another advancement in the traditional IVF procedure. It is similar to ICSI except that in IMSI, the sperm is first analyzed under high magnification to select only the sperm which has the best morphology. This procedure is helpful in case the male partner’s sperm has quality issues. \r\nTreatment of immunological causes of infertility before proceeding with the next cycle.\r\nPreimplantation genetic testing of embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before embryo transfer.\r\n\r\nWith the latest medical advancements in the field of fertility treatment, it is now possible for a woman to conceive in spite of multiple IVF failures. However, it is important to let your fertility specialist run a battery of tests on you and your partner to ascertain the cause behind IVF failure.

inability to conceive despite having one year of unprotected, regular intercourse. Women may face infertility issues due to various reasons, including ovulation disorders, tubal infections, cervical and uterine complications, and endometriosis. In males, it is predominantly due to decreased sperm count or motility. With timely diagnosis and treatment,  there is hope for couples who have infertility issues to still conceive.  \r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Causes of Female Infertility </strong>\r\n\r\n1. Ovulation disorder: Certain ovulation disorders such as premature ovarian failure  (ovaries stop working at age 40), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and thyroid disorders (underactive or overactive thyroid gland) inhibit the release of egg in some women while in others, ovulation may not occur in every cycle, lowering the chances of conception.  \r\n2. Endometriosis: A medical condition in which the inner lining (tissue) of the womb starts growing in other parts (e.g. ovaries/ abdomen wall), causing damage.  \r\n3. Scarring due to surgery: Sometimes, the uterus and fallopian tubes can get damaged and scarred after pelvic or cervical surgery.  \r\n4. Fibroids: These are non-cancerous growths that prevent the attachment of the fertilized egg in the womb by altering the structure and blood flow in the uterus.  \r\n5. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID): This is a bacterial infection of the upper genital tract in females that can damage and scar the fallopian tubes.  \r\n\r\n<strong>Cause of Male Infertility </strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2334076635.png\">\r\nMale factor infertility is the leading cause of infertility in males. Men with male factor suffer  from:  \r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Low sperm count  </li>\r\n 	<li>Low sperm motility</li>\r\n 	<li>Obstruction in the tubes which transit the sperms to the outside </li>\r\n 	<li>Testicle disorders arising due to infection, cancer, or surgery  </li>\r\n 	<li>Ejaculation disorders that restrict semen release  </li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Diagnosis of Female Infertility</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1278824437.png\">\r\n\r\nThe normal process of fertilization involves the release of healthy eggs from the ovaries, which pass into the fallopian tubes to fertilize with the sperm. The fertilized egg must then travel and attach itself to the uterus (implantation). Diagnosis of female infertility includes trying to find out problems in any of these steps of fertilization.  \r\nOne prominent method of infertility testing in women is called laparoscopy. Laparoscopy has become an integral part of gynecologic surgery as it helps in the diagnosis and treatment of various abdominal and pelvic disorders of the female reproductive system. In this procedure, a  small incision is made around the navel, through which a thin, viewing device is inserted to examine the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and uterus. This procedure is helpful in ruling out endometriosis, scarring, blockages, or other problems with the fallopian tubes. It may also be useful in detecting issues with the ovaries and uterus. With the help of laparoscopy, certain infertility conditions can also be treated. For instance, it can remove growths called fibroids or endometriosis tissue.  \r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>5 Ways Laparoscopic Surgery is Useful in Infertility </strong>\r\n\r\nEasy identification of abnormalities: While there are other indirect methods of diagnosis of fibroids and endometriosis, laparoscopy is the only sure way of direct visualization of internal structures to confirm the presence of these abnormalities. Mild endometriosis and scarring in the uterus can be diagnosed with the help of laparoscopy.  \r\nDiagnosis of blockage or scarring of the fallopian tubes: Both blockage and scarring of the fallopian tubes are hard to diagnose and treat using other methods of diagnosis. With the help of a laparoscope, your healthcare provider can view and rectify these abnormalities to increase the chances of conception.  \r\nDetection of pelvic pathologies: Sometimes, pelvic pathologies go unnoticed, causing repeated in vitro fertilization failures. The answer to these problems lies in laparoscopy,  which helps detect and treat these pathologies and enhances conception.\r\nRemoval of pelvic adhesions and endometrial tissue: With the help of laparoscopic surgery, pelvic adhesions and endometrial tissue can be removed. Once this is done, the chances of a natural way of conception are increased. Any unexplained causes of infertility can be determined using laparoscopy.  \r\nLess invasive and technologically improved method: Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure when compared to conventional open surgery. Not only does the person get discharged within a day to resume her normal, daily activities, but it is also a  less painful procedure, with minimal blood loss due to a smaller incision.  \r\nKeeping the above-mentioned benefits of laparoscopy in mind, more and more women are opting for it as the choice for diagnosis of infertility in them. The results of a laparoscopy performed for infertility testing usually show abnormalities such as blocked fallopian tubes,  endometriosis, adhesions, fibroids, and cysts. Most of these conditions can be corrected during the same procedure. Laparoscopy is a boon for finding out the cause and treating infertility problems in females, giving hope of a new life to many!  \r\nAmong the infertility treatment hospitals in Bangalore, a name that stands out is that of NU  hospitals.

inability to conceive despite having one year of unprotected, regular intercourse. Women may face infertility issues due to various reasons, including ovulation disorders, tubal infections, cervical and uterine complications, and endometriosis. In males, it is predominantly due to decreased sperm count or motility. With timely diagnosis and treatment,  there is hope for couples who have infertility issues to still conceive.  \r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Causes of Female Infertility </strong>\r\n\r\n1. Ovulation disorder: Certain ovulation disorders such as premature ovarian failure  (ovaries stop working at age 40), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and thyroid disorders (underactive or overactive thyroid gland) inhibit the release of egg in some women while in others, ovulation may not occur in every cycle, lowering the chances of conception.  \r\n2. Endometriosis: A medical condition in which the inner lining (tissue) of the womb starts growing in other parts (e.g. ovaries/ abdomen wall), causing damage.  \r\n3. Scarring due to surgery: Sometimes, the uterus and fallopian tubes can get damaged and scarred after pelvic or cervical surgery.  \r\n4. Fibroids: These are non-cancerous growths that prevent the attachment of the fertilized egg in the womb by altering the structure and blood flow in the uterus.  \r\n5. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID): This is a bacterial infection of the upper genital tract in females that can damage and scar the fallopian tubes.  \r\n\r\n<strong>Cause of Male Infertility </strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2334076635.png\">\r\nMale factor infertility is the leading cause of infertility in males. Men with male factor suffer  from:  \r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Low sperm count  </li>\r\n 	<li>Low sperm motility</li>\r\n 	<li>Obstruction in the tubes which transit the sperms to the outside </li>\r\n 	<li>Testicle disorders arising due to infection, cancer, or surgery  </li>\r\n 	<li>Ejaculation disorders that restrict semen release  </li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Diagnosis of Female Infertility</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1278824437.png\">\r\n\r\nThe normal process of fertilization involves the release of healthy eggs from the ovaries, which pass into the fallopian tubes to fertilize with the sperm. The fertilized egg must then travel and attach itself to the uterus (implantation). Diagnosis of female infertility includes trying to find out problems in any of these steps of fertilization.  \r\nOne prominent method of infertility testing in women is called laparoscopy. Laparoscopy has become an integral part of gynecologic surgery as it helps in the diagnosis and treatment of various abdominal and pelvic disorders of the female reproductive system. In this procedure, a  small incision is made around the navel, through which a thin, viewing device is inserted to examine the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and uterus. This procedure is helpful in ruling out endometriosis, scarring, blockages, or other problems with the fallopian tubes. It may also be useful in detecting issues with the ovaries and uterus. With the help of laparoscopy, certain infertility conditions can also be treated. For instance, it can remove growths called fibroids or endometriosis tissue.  \r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>5 Ways Laparoscopic Surgery is Useful in Infertility </strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_726669664.png\">\r\n\r\nEasy identification of abnormalities: While there are other indirect methods of diagnosis of fibroids and endometriosis, laparoscopy is the only sure way of direct visualization of internal structures to confirm the presence of these abnormalities. Mild endometriosis and scarring in the uterus can be diagnosed with the help of laparoscopy.  \r\nDiagnosis of blockage or scarring of the fallopian tubes: Both blockage and scarring of the fallopian tubes are hard to diagnose and treat using other methods of diagnosis. With the help of a laparoscope, your healthcare provider can view and rectify these abnormalities to increase the chances of conception.  \r\nDetection of pelvic pathologies: Sometimes, pelvic pathologies go unnoticed, causing repeated in vitro fertilization failures. The answer to these problems lies in laparoscopy,  which helps detect and treat these pathologies and enhances conception.\r\nRemoval of pelvic adhesions and endometrial tissue: With the help of laparoscopic surgery, pelvic adhesions and endometrial tissue can be removed. Once this is done, the chances of a natural way of conception are increased. Any unexplained causes of infertility can be determined using laparoscopy.  \r\nLess invasive and technologically improved method: Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure when compared to conventional open surgery. Not only does the person get discharged within a day to resume her normal, daily activities, but it is also a  less painful procedure, with minimal blood loss due to a smaller incision.  \r\nKeeping the above-mentioned benefits of laparoscopy in mind, more and more women are opting for it as the choice for diagnosis of infertility in them. The results of a laparoscopy performed for infertility testing usually show abnormalities such as blocked fallopian tubes,  endometriosis, adhesions, fibroids, and cysts. Most of these conditions can be corrected during the same procedure. Laparoscopy is a boon for finding out the cause and treating infertility problems in females, giving hope of a new life to many!  \r\nAmong the infertility treatment hospitals in Bangalore, a name that stands out is that of NU  hospitals.

href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/female-infertility\">Infertility</a> is defined as the inability to conceive despite having one year of unprotected, regular intercourse. Women may face infertility issues due to various reasons, including ovulation disorders, tubal infections, cervical and uterine complications, and endometriosis. In males, it is predominantly due to decreased sperm count or motility. With timely diagnosis and treatment,  there is hope for couples who have infertility issues to still conceive.  \r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Causes of Female Infertility </strong>\r\n\r\n1. Ovulation disorder: Certain ovulation disorders such as premature ovarian failure  (ovaries stop working at age 40), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and thyroid disorders (underactive or overactive thyroid gland) inhibit the release of egg in some women while in others, ovulation may not occur in every cycle, lowering the chances of conception.  \r\n2. Endometriosis: A medical condition in which the inner lining (tissue) of the womb starts growing in other parts (e.g. ovaries/ abdomen wall), causing damage.  \r\n3. Scarring due to surgery: Sometimes, the uterus and fallopian tubes can get damaged and scarred after pelvic or cervical surgery.  \r\n4. Fibroids: These are non-cancerous growths that prevent the attachment of the fertilized egg in the womb by altering the structure and blood flow in the uterus.  \r\n5. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID): This is a bacterial infection of the upper genital tract in females that can damage and scar the fallopian tubes.  \r\n\r\n<strong>Cause of Male Infertility </strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2334076635.png\">\r\nMale factor infertility is the leading cause of infertility in males. Men with male factor suffer  from:  \r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Low sperm count  </li>\r\n 	<li>Low sperm motility</li>\r\n 	<li>Obstruction in the tubes which transit the sperms to the outside </li>\r\n 	<li>Testicle disorders arising due to infection, cancer, or surgery  </li>\r\n 	<li>Ejaculation disorders that restrict semen release  </li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Diagnosis of Female Infertility</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1278824437.png\">\r\n\r\nThe normal process of fertilization involves the release of healthy eggs from the ovaries, which pass into the fallopian tubes to fertilize with the sperm. The fertilized egg must then travel and attach itself to the uterus (implantation). Diagnosis of female infertility includes trying to find out problems in any of these steps of fertilization.  \r\nOne prominent method of infertility testing in women is called laparoscopy. Laparoscopy has become an integral part of gynecologic surgery as it helps in the diagnosis and treatment of various abdominal and pelvic disorders of the female reproductive system. In this procedure, a  small incision is made around the navel, through which a thin, viewing device is inserted to examine the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and uterus. This procedure is helpful in ruling out endometriosis, scarring, blockages, or other problems with the fallopian tubes. It may also be useful in detecting issues with the ovaries and uterus. With the help of laparoscopy, certain infertility conditions can also be treated. For instance, it can remove growths called fibroids or endometriosis tissue.  \r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>5 Ways Laparoscopic Surgery is Useful in Infertility </strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_726669664.png\">\r\n\r\nEasy identification of abnormalities: While there are other indirect methods of diagnosis of fibroids and endometriosis, laparoscopy is the only sure way of direct visualization of internal structures to confirm the presence of these abnormalities. Mild endometriosis and scarring in the uterus can be diagnosed with the help of laparoscopy.  \r\nDiagnosis of blockage or scarring of the fallopian tubes: Both blockage and scarring of the fallopian tubes are hard to diagnose and treat using other methods of diagnosis. With the help of a laparoscope, your healthcare provider can view and rectify these abnormalities to increase the chances of conception.  \r\nDetection of pelvic pathologies: Sometimes, pelvic pathologies go unnoticed, causing repeated in vitro fertilization failures. The answer to these problems lies in laparoscopy,  which helps detect and treat these pathologies and enhances conception.\r\nRemoval of pelvic adhesions and endometrial tissue: With the help of laparoscopic surgery, pelvic adhesions and endometrial tissue can be removed. Once this is done, the chances of a natural way of conception are increased. Any unexplained causes of infertility can be determined using laparoscopy.  \r\nLess invasive and technologically improved method: Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure when compared to conventional open surgery. Not only does the person get discharged within a day to resume her normal, daily activities, but it is also a  less painful procedure, with minimal blood loss due to a smaller incision.  \r\nKeeping the above-mentioned benefits of laparoscopy in mind, more and more women are opting for it as the choice for diagnosis of infertility in them. The results of a laparoscopy performed for infertility testing usually show abnormalities such as blocked fallopian tubes,  endometriosis, adhesions, fibroids, and cysts. Most of these conditions can be corrected during the same procedure. Laparoscopy is a boon for finding out the cause and treating infertility problems in females, giving hope of a new life to many!  \r\nAmong the infertility treatment hospitals in Bangalore, a name that stands out is that of NU  hospitals.

href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/female-infertility\">Infertility</a> is defined as the inability to conceive despite having one year of unprotected, regular intercourse. Women may face infertility issues due to various reasons, including ovulation disorders, tubal infections, cervical and uterine complications, and endometriosis. In males, it is predominantly due to decreased sperm count or motility. With timely diagnosis and treatment,  there is hope for couples who have infertility issues to still conceive.  \r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h2>Causes of Female Infertility </h2>\r\n\r\n1. Ovulation disorder: Certain ovulation disorders such as premature ovarian failure  (ovaries stop working at age 40), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and thyroid disorders (underactive or overactive thyroid gland) inhibit the release of egg in some women while in others, ovulation may not occur in every cycle, lowering the chances of conception.  \r\n2. Endometriosis: A medical condition in which the inner lining (tissue) of the womb starts growing in other parts (e.g. ovaries/ abdomen wall), causing damage.  \r\n3. Scarring due to surgery: Sometimes, the uterus and fallopian tubes can get damaged and scarred after pelvic or cervical surgery.  \r\n4. Fibroids: These are non-cancerous growths that prevent the attachment of the fertilized egg in the womb by altering the structure and blood flow in the uterus.  \r\n5. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID): This is a bacterial infection of the upper genital tract in females that can damage and scar the fallopian tubes.  \r\n\r\n<strong>Cause of Male Infertility </strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2334076635.png\">\r\nMale factor infertility is the leading cause of infertility in males. Men with male factor suffer  from:  \r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Low sperm count  </li>\r\n 	<li>Low sperm motility</li>\r\n 	<li>Obstruction in the tubes which transit the sperms to the outside </li>\r\n 	<li>Testicle disorders arising due to infection, cancer, or surgery  </li>\r\n 	<li>Ejaculation disorders that restrict semen release  </li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Diagnosis of Female Infertility</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1278824437.png\">\r\n\r\nThe normal process of fertilization involves the release of healthy eggs from the ovaries, which pass into the fallopian tubes to fertilize with the sperm. The fertilized egg must then travel and attach itself to the uterus (implantation). Diagnosis of female infertility includes trying to find out problems in any of these steps of fertilization.  \r\nOne prominent method of infertility testing in women is called laparoscopy. Laparoscopy has become an integral part of gynecologic surgery as it helps in the diagnosis and treatment of various abdominal and pelvic disorders of the female reproductive system. In this procedure, a  small incision is made around the navel, through which a thin, viewing device is inserted to examine the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and uterus. This procedure is helpful in ruling out endometriosis, scarring, blockages, or other problems with the fallopian tubes. It may also be useful in detecting issues with the ovaries and uterus. With the help of laparoscopy, certain infertility conditions can also be treated. For instance, it can remove growths called fibroids or endometriosis tissue.  \r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>5 Ways Laparoscopic Surgery is Useful in Infertility </strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_726669664.png\">\r\n\r\nEasy identification of abnormalities: While there are other indirect methods of diagnosis of fibroids and endometriosis, laparoscopy is the only sure way of direct visualization of internal structures to confirm the presence of these abnormalities. Mild endometriosis and scarring in the uterus can be diagnosed with the help of laparoscopy.  \r\nDiagnosis of blockage or scarring of the fallopian tubes: Both blockage and scarring of the fallopian tubes are hard to diagnose and treat using other methods of diagnosis. With the help of a laparoscope, your healthcare provider can view and rectify these abnormalities to increase the chances of conception.  \r\nDetection of pelvic pathologies: Sometimes, pelvic pathologies go unnoticed, causing repeated in vitro fertilization failures. The answer to these problems lies in laparoscopy,  which helps detect and treat these pathologies and enhances conception.\r\nRemoval of pelvic adhesions and endometrial tissue: With the help of laparoscopic surgery, pelvic adhesions and endometrial tissue can be removed. Once this is done, the chances of a natural way of conception are increased. Any unexplained causes of infertility can be determined using laparoscopy.  \r\nLess invasive and technologically improved method: Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure when compared to conventional open surgery. Not only does the person get discharged within a day to resume her normal, daily activities, but it is also a  less painful procedure, with minimal blood loss due to a smaller incision.  \r\nKeeping the above-mentioned benefits of laparoscopy in mind, more and more women are opting for it as the choice for diagnosis of infertility in them. The results of a laparoscopy performed for infertility testing usually show abnormalities such as blocked fallopian tubes,  endometriosis, adhesions, fibroids, and cysts. Most of these conditions can be corrected during the same procedure. Laparoscopy is a boon for finding out the cause and treating infertility problems in females, giving hope of a new life to many!  \r\nAmong the infertility treatment hospitals in Bangalore, a name that stands out is that of NU  hospitals.

href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/female-infertility\">Infertility</a> is defined as the inability to conceive despite having one year of unprotected, regular intercourse. Women may face infertility issues due to various reasons, including ovulation disorders, tubal infections, cervical and uterine complications, and endometriosis. In males, it is predominantly due to decreased sperm count or motility. With timely diagnosis and treatment,  there is hope for couples who have infertility issues to still conceive.  \r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Causes of Female Infertility </h3>\r\n\r\n1. Ovulation disorder: Certain ovulation disorders such as premature ovarian failure  (ovaries stop working at age 40), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and thyroid disorders (underactive or overactive thyroid gland) inhibit the release of egg in some women while in others, ovulation may not occur in every cycle, lowering the chances of conception.  \r\n2. Endometriosis: A medical condition in which the inner lining (tissue) of the womb starts growing in other parts (e.g. ovaries/ abdomen wall), causing damage.  \r\n3. Scarring due to surgery: Sometimes, the uterus and fallopian tubes can get damaged and scarred after pelvic or cervical surgery.  \r\n4. Fibroids: These are non-cancerous growths that prevent the attachment of the fertilized egg in the womb by altering the structure and blood flow in the uterus.  \r\n5. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID): This is a bacterial infection of the upper genital tract in females that can damage and scar the fallopian tubes.  \r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Cause of Male Infertility </h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2334076635.png\">\r\nMale factor infertility is the leading cause of infertility in males. Men with male factor suffer  from:  \r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Low sperm count  </li>\r\n 	<li>Low sperm motility</li>\r\n 	<li>Obstruction in the tubes which transit the sperms to the outside </li>\r\n 	<li>Testicle disorders arising due to infection, cancer, or surgery  </li>\r\n 	<li>Ejaculation disorders that restrict semen release  </li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Diagnosis of Female Infertility</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1278824437.png\">\r\n\r\nThe normal process of fertilization involves the release of healthy eggs from the ovaries, which pass into the fallopian tubes to fertilize with the sperm. The fertilized egg must then travel and attach itself to the uterus (implantation). Diagnosis of female infertility includes trying to find out problems in any of these steps of fertilization.  \r\nOne prominent method of infertility testing in women is called laparoscopy. Laparoscopy has become an integral part of gynecologic surgery as it helps in the diagnosis and treatment of various abdominal and pelvic disorders of the female reproductive system. In this procedure, a  small incision is made around the navel, through which a thin, viewing device is inserted to examine the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and uterus. This procedure is helpful in ruling out endometriosis, scarring, blockages, or other problems with the fallopian tubes. It may also be useful in detecting issues with the ovaries and uterus. With the help of laparoscopy, certain infertility conditions can also be treated. For instance, it can remove growths called fibroids or endometriosis tissue.  \r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">5 Ways Laparoscopic Surgery is Useful in Infertility </h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_726669664.png\">\r\n\r\nEasy identification of abnormalities: While there are other indirect methods of diagnosis of fibroids and endometriosis, laparoscopy is the only sure way of direct visualization of internal structures to confirm the presence of these abnormalities. Mild endometriosis and scarring in the uterus can be diagnosed with the help of laparoscopy.  \r\nDiagnosis of blockage or scarring of the fallopian tubes: Both blockage and scarring of the fallopian tubes are hard to diagnose and treat using other methods of diagnosis. With the help of a laparoscope, your healthcare provider can view and rectify these abnormalities to increase the chances of conception.  \r\nDetection of pelvic pathologies: Sometimes, pelvic pathologies go unnoticed, causing repeated in vitro fertilization failures. The answer to these problems lies in laparoscopy,  which helps detect and treat these pathologies and enhances conception.\r\nRemoval of pelvic adhesions and endometrial tissue: With the help of laparoscopic surgery, pelvic adhesions and endometrial tissue can be removed. Once this is done, the chances of a natural way of conception are increased. Any unexplained causes of infertility can be determined using laparoscopy.  \r\nLess invasive and technologically improved method: Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure when compared to conventional open surgery. Not only does the person get discharged within a day to resume her normal, daily activities, but it is also a  less painful procedure, with minimal blood loss due to a smaller incision.  \r\nKeeping the above-mentioned benefits of laparoscopy in mind, more and more women are opting for it as the choice for diagnosis of infertility in them. The results of a laparoscopy performed for infertility testing usually show abnormalities such as blocked fallopian tubes,  endometriosis, adhesions, fibroids, and cysts. Most of these conditions can be corrected during the same procedure. Laparoscopy is a boon for finding out the cause and treating infertility problems in females, giving hope of a new life to many!  \r\nAmong the infertility treatment hospitals in Bangalore, a name that stands out is that of NU  hospitals.

style=\"width:100%;\">Vaginismus Treatment: All You Need to Know</h3>\r\n\r\nVaginismus refers to a condition when muscles around your vagina get tensed up or contract involuntarily. The vagina is a part of the female reproductive system and connects the lower part of the uterus (cervix) with the outside of your body. These involuntary muscle spasms happen when something like a penis, a finger, a tampon, or a medical instrument tries to penetrate your vagina. These spasms can be mild or very painful.\r\nVaginismus symptoms may appear during the late teen years or early adulthood, when a woman has sex for the first time. The condition can also happen the first time a woman tries to insert a tampon or has a pelvic exam at a healthcare provider’s office.\r\nSome women develop vaginismus later in life. This can occur after years without any problems. Spasms or discomfort may occur anytime there’s vaginal penetration or they may happen at certain times, such as during sex or pelvic exams.\r\nVaginismus can lead to infertility and can have a negative impact on a woman\'s sense of femininity, her ability to become pregnant, and on the maternal and fetal prognosis during pregnancy.\r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Causes of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_688715386.png\">\r\n\r\nVaginismus is a condition that can lead to physical, psychological, relationship and sexual problems. The underlying cause of this condition is not fully understood. Vaginal pain can be exacerbated by bladder infections, urinary tract infections, and yeast infections.\r\nA variety of factors may cause vaginismus, including:\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li>Anxiety </li>\r\n  <li>Vaginal tears caused due to childbirth</li>\r\n  <li>Previous surgery</li>\r\n  <li>Fear of intercourse </li>\r\n  <li>Previous sexual abuse / unpleasant sexual experience</li>\r\n\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Signs and symptoms of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1970456594.png\">\r\nCommon symptoms of vaginismus include:\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Pain or discomfort during vaginal penetration.</li>\r\n 	<li>Inability to have sexual intercourse or pelvic examination due to vaginal muscle contractions or pain.</li>\r\n 	<li>Pain during intercourse.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Diagnosis of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_647822209.png\">\r\n\r\nYour healthcare provider will ask you questions about your symptoms, medical, and sexual history. A pelvic examination can help determine if there are any other issues or the presence of muscle spasms. A topical numbing cream may be applied on the outside of your vagina prior to the pelvic exam to reduce discomfort.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Management and treatment of vaginismus</h3>\r\n\r\nThe primary objective of vaginismus treatment is to reduce the reflex of the muscles that cause them to contract. Additionally, the treatment is designed to address the underlying fears or anxieties that may be contributing to the condition.\r\nYour healthcare provider may suggest one or a combination of the following treatments:\r\nCounselling \r\nWomen participate in a limited number of counselling sessions, either alone or with a partner, in which they are provided with information on sexual disorders. Additionally, sessions are conducted in which doctors assist women in overcoming their psychological fear of vaginal penetration in order to better respond to it. Women are provided with comprehensive information on female anatomy, pelvic floor muscles, and sexual intercourse. Furthermore, patients are given insight into vaginismus and the treatment options available for them, based on the nature of the disorder. Husband/ male partner is also involved in the process.\r\n\r\nTopical therapy\r\nThe use of topical creams may be beneficial in relieving the symptoms of vaginismus.\r\n\r\nVaginal dilator therapy\r\nA vaginal dilator is a tube-shaped device that is available in a range of sizes. The primary purpose of a vaginal dilator is to relax the muscles around the vagina. Patients with vaginismus use a dilator to become more receptive and less sensitive to vaginal penetration. A local numbing cream may be applied to the external surface of the vagina prior to insertion of the vaginal dilator.\r\n\r\nKegel exercises\r\nKegel exercises involve the contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles. These exercises are highly beneficial and in addition to the treatment of vaginismus, are also used to treat various other conditions, such as urinary incontinence. To perform this exercise, one must contract the muscles of the pelvic floor and release them repeatedly. Depending on the individual\'s health, a doctor may recommend performing these exercises for a certain number of times daily.\r\n\r\nBotox injections \r\nThe use of Botox injections has been demonstrated to be a highly effective treatment for vaginismus. These injections have been found to reduce the intensity of the most painful spasms and their effects remain long-lasting, even after Botox has worn off.\r\n\r\nCognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)\r\nThe purpose of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is to help understand how the thought processes influence one\'s emotional state and behaviour. This therapy can be used to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).\r\n\r\nRelaxation techniques \r\nRelaxation techniques, such as breathing exercises and hypnosis, can also be employed to reduce stress and manage vaginismus.\r\n\r\nSex therapy\r\nTrained sex therapists assist individuals and couples in finding a sense of pleasure in their sexual relations.\r\n\r\nIf you’ve been diagnosed with or are experiencing symptoms of vaginismus, it is important to know what treatment options are available to help you manage the condition. Getting timely help to treat this condition can help you lead a more fulfilling life. \r\nNU Fertility at NU Hospitals, based in Bangalore, provides modern treatment options for women suffering from https://www.nufertility.com/female-infertility.

to Know</h3>\r\n\r\nVaginismus refers to a condition when muscles around your vagina get tensed up or contract involuntarily. The vagina is a part of the female reproductive system and connects the lower part of the uterus (cervix) with the outside of your body. These involuntary muscle spasms happen when something like a penis, a finger, a tampon, or a medical instrument tries to penetrate your vagina. These spasms can be mild or very painful.\r\nVaginismus symptoms may appear during the late teen years or early adulthood, when a woman has sex for the first time. The condition can also happen the first time a woman tries to insert a tampon or has a pelvic exam at a healthcare provider’s office.\r\nSome women develop vaginismus later in life. This can occur after years without any problems. Spasms or discomfort may occur anytime there’s vaginal penetration or they may happen at certain times, such as during sex or pelvic exams.\r\nVaginismus can lead to infertility and can have a negative impact on a woman\'s sense of femininity, her ability to become pregnant, and on the maternal and fetal prognosis during pregnancy.\r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Causes of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_688715386.png\">\r\n\r\nVaginismus is a condition that can lead to physical, psychological, relationship and sexual problems. The underlying cause of this condition is not fully understood. Vaginal pain can be exacerbated by bladder infections, urinary tract infections, and yeast infections.\r\nA variety of factors may cause vaginismus, including:\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li>Anxiety </li>\r\n  <li>Vaginal tears caused due to childbirth</li>\r\n  <li>Previous surgery</li>\r\n  <li>Fear of intercourse </li>\r\n  <li>Previous sexual abuse / unpleasant sexual experience</li>\r\n\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Signs and symptoms of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1970456594.png\">\r\nCommon symptoms of vaginismus include:\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Pain or discomfort during vaginal penetration.</li>\r\n 	<li>Inability to have sexual intercourse or pelvic examination due to vaginal muscle contractions or pain.</li>\r\n 	<li>Pain during intercourse.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Diagnosis of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_647822209.png\">\r\n\r\nYour healthcare provider will ask you questions about your symptoms, medical, and sexual history. A pelvic examination can help determine if there are any other issues or the presence of muscle spasms. A topical numbing cream may be applied on the outside of your vagina prior to the pelvic exam to reduce discomfort.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Management and treatment of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2354970963-1.png\">\r\n\r\nThe primary objective of vaginismus treatment is to reduce the reflex of the muscles that cause them to contract. Additionally, the treatment is designed to address the underlying fears or anxieties that may be contributing to the condition.\r\nYour healthcare provider may suggest one or a combination of the following treatments:\r\nCounselling \r\nWomen participate in a limited number of counselling sessions, either alone or with a partner, in which they are provided with information on sexual disorders. Additionally, sessions are conducted in which doctors assist women in overcoming their psychological fear of vaginal penetration in order to better respond to it. Women are provided with comprehensive information on female anatomy, pelvic floor muscles, and sexual intercourse. Furthermore, patients are given insight into vaginismus and the treatment options available for them, based on the nature of the disorder. Husband/ male partner is also involved in the process.\r\n\r\nTopical therapy\r\nThe use of topical creams may be beneficial in relieving the symptoms of vaginismus.\r\n\r\nVaginal dilator therapy\r\nA vaginal dilator is a tube-shaped device that is available in a range of sizes. The primary purpose of a vaginal dilator is to relax the muscles around the vagina. Patients with vaginismus use a dilator to become more receptive and less sensitive to vaginal penetration. A local numbing cream may be applied to the external surface of the vagina prior to insertion of the vaginal dilator.\r\n\r\nKegel exercises\r\nKegel exercises involve the contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles. These exercises are highly beneficial and in addition to the treatment of vaginismus, are also used to treat various other conditions, such as urinary incontinence. To perform this exercise, one must contract the muscles of the pelvic floor and release them repeatedly. Depending on the individual\'s health, a doctor may recommend performing these exercises for a certain number of times daily.\r\n\r\nBotox injections \r\nThe use of Botox injections has been demonstrated to be a highly effective treatment for vaginismus. These injections have been found to reduce the intensity of the most painful spasms and their effects remain long-lasting, even after Botox has worn off.\r\n\r\nCognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)\r\nThe purpose of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is to help understand how the thought processes influence one\'s emotional state and behaviour. This therapy can be used to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).\r\n\r\nRelaxation techniques \r\nRelaxation techniques, such as breathing exercises and hypnosis, can also be employed to reduce stress and manage vaginismus.\r\n\r\nSex therapy\r\nTrained sex therapists assist individuals and couples in finding a sense of pleasure in their sexual relations.\r\n\r\nIf you’ve been diagnosed with or are experiencing symptoms of vaginismus, it is important to know what treatment options are available to help you manage the condition. Getting timely help to treat this condition can help you lead a more fulfilling life. \r\nNU Fertility at NU Hospitals, based in Bangalore, provides modern treatment options for women suffering from https://www.nufertility.com/female-infertility.

that affects women of childbearing age.\r\n\r\nIn this condition, the ovaries tend to produce excess androgens, a male sex hormone that is usually present in small amounts in women. The name, polycystic ovarian syndrome, describes numerous small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) in the ovaries.\r\n\r\nHowever, these are different from the other ovarian cysts which require surgery. PCOS can have an impact on a woman’s overall health as well as their physical appearance. Although common, PCOS is often a treatable condition.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\">Impact of PCOS on Fertility</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1561328644.png\" alt=\"Missed Period Marking on Calender - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nHormonal imbalances in women may result in excessive amounts of androgens, the formation of cysts in the ovaries, the thickening of the outer well of the ovaries, and insulin resistance. All these changes can interfere with the process of <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/ovulation-induction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ovulation in women</a>. One of the common signs to understand this is missed or irregular periods.\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\">Signs and symptoms</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2047682852.png\" alt=\"Lady Squeezing her Pimples - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\nThe symptoms of PCOS may include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Missed or irregular periods</li>\r\n 	<li>Infertility</li>\r\n 	<li>Skin tags</li>\r\n 	<li>Acne or oily skin</li>\r\n 	<li>Ovaries that are large or have several cysts</li>\r\n 	<li>Excess body hair (hirsutism)</li>\r\n 	<li>Male pattern baldness or thinning of hair</li>\r\n 	<li>Dark or thick skin patches at the back of the neck, in the armpits, and under the breast</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\">Causes</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2146470515.png\" alt=\"Blood Samples for Testosterone Test - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nThe exact cause of PCOS still remains unclear. However, it has been shown that most women with PCOS have insulin resistance, which means their bodies cannot utilize insulin effectively. Accumulated insulin levels in the body lead to potential rise in androgen levels. Obesity can also raise insulin levels, worsening PCOS symptoms.\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\">Diagnosis</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1482452312.png\" alt=\"Ultrasound Examination of Women\'s Pelvic - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nPCOS is diagnosed in the following ways:\r\nTo begin with, your healthcare provider will take your complete medical history along with your symptoms. Following that, you will have to undergo a thorough physical examination, especially of the pelvic region. This includes checking the reproductive organs closely.\r\nA few additional tests may also be ordered to confirm the diagnosis. These include:\r\n<b>Pelvic ultrasound: </b>This test creates images of blood arteries, tissues, and organs using sound waves and a computer. It examines the size of the ovaries as well as the presence of cysts in them. It also provides information on the thickness of the endometrium (inner lining of the uterus).\r\n<b>Blood tests: </b>These tests provide information on the levels of androgen and other hormones in women. Additionally, it may provide information on blood glucose, cholesterol, and thyroid levels.\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\">Treatment</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1562123077.png\" alt=\"Woman Taking Pills for PCOS - NU Fertility \" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nThere is no treatment available for PCOS as such. However, the symptoms can be treated and managed well. <a style=\"color: blue !important;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/female-infertility\">Infertility treatment</a> caused by PCOS involves correcting ovulation issues and tackling metabolic problems, such as insulin resistance. If you have a BMI of 30 or above, your healthcare professional may advise you to lose weight by adopting a healthy eating pattern and regular exercise.\r\nIf you don’t wish to become pregnant, hormonal birth control pills may be helpful. However, a few treatments that may help you ovulate and conceive include:\r\n<b>Medicines that stimulate ovulation (releasing an egg)</b>\r\nThese medications work by stimulating the ovary to grow eggs. These are taken once a day for five days at the start of your menstrual cycle.\r\nThese drugs work quite effectively in helping women with PCOS to ovulate. However, these are started at the lowest possible dose and increased as needed, by your healthcare practitioner.\r\n<b>Insulin-sensitizing drugs</b>\r\nThese medications are effective in women with insulin resistance - a condition where insulin fails to act in the body. These drugs aren’t first-line treatments for PCOS but can be used to encourage regular periods and ovulation. They may not be as effective as other treatments of PCOS in helping women to become pregnant but can stimulate ovulation.\r\n<b>Hormone injections</b>\r\nThese are injectable hormones that facilitate ovarian stimulation and ovulation. This treatment may require frequent doctor visits to monitor your body’s response to the drug.\r\n<b>Surgery</b>\r\nSurgery in the form of laparoscopic ovarian drilling is recommended for patients who do not respond to medications. Although rare, it may be an option.\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><strong>Complications of PCOS</strong>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1056416111.png\" alt=\"Depressed Woman Awaked at Night - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\nIf left untreated, women with PCOS may be likely to develop serious health conditions such as</h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Type 2 diabetes mellitus</li>\r\n 	<li>High blood pressure</li>\r\n 	<li>Heart diseases</li>\r\n 	<li>Sleep disorders</li>\r\n 	<li>Depression and anxiety</li>\r\n 	<li>Infertility</li>\r\n 	<li>Uterine cancer</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nPCOS is a common hormonal problem in women of childbearing age these days.

combined with a sperm under in vitro or laboratory conditions. This technique is a boon for all those childless couples who have failed to conceive and give birth to a baby through the natural process. IVF is especially beneficial in case of PCOS, blocked uterine tubes, fibroids, endometriosis, low ovarian reserve, and poor egg or sperm health. However, sometimes this procedure may not work out as planned and result in a failed IVF. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Common reasons for IVF failure</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\">\r\n\r\nThis section talks about the many reasons that can contribute to a failed IVF procedure. Each of these causes of failure are dealt with in detail as mentioned below:\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Age of female: </li>Women above the age of 35 often find it difficult to conceive. The quality and quantity of the egg also deteriorate with advancing age, making your chances of becoming pregnant less. It is noted that live birth rates for IVF are only 40% for women above the age of 35 years. \r\n<li>Quality of embryo: </li>This is one of the leading causes of IVF failure. The embryos may appear to be healthy under laboratory conditions but they fail to get implanted into the uterus as they do not get the right environment to grow. \r\n<li>Ovarian response: </li>IVF treatment requires a woman to daily inject a fertility hormone called follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). This hormone is responsible for increasing egg production. Sometimes, the woman’s ovaries do not respond in the way expected and thus, fail to produce multiple eggs for collection. Older women are more prone to have this condition of low ovarian reserve.\r\n<li>Implantation failure: </li>If the egg fails to get implanted in the uterus, the IVF fails. Several reasons could contribute to the failure of implantation including a premature increase in progesterone levels, infection of the uterus, presence of uterine polyps, or an endometrial lining that is too thin. \r\n<li>Autoimmune disorders: </li>An autoimmune disorder can also cause the embryo implantation to fail as the antibodies may start attacking healthy cells or tissues. In the case of IVF (embryo implantation), the immune system may mistakenly recognize the embryo as invading tissues and attack it.\r\n<li>Chromosomal issues: </li>It is characterized by the presence of an extra or missing chromosome and is often, one of the major causes for IVF implantation failures. Women in their mid or late 30s are most likely to develop chromosomal abnormalities. Therefore, women who have had multiple implantation failures, are generally advised to undergo preimplantation genetic screening.\r\n<li>Sperm abnormality: </li>Any irregularity in the structure of the sperm will lead to an unfertilized egg as the sperm fails to penetrate the egg’s outer membrane. This results in the failure of the IVF procedure. \r\n<li>Lifestyle:</li> Unhealthy lifestyle practices such as smoking that fertility specialists advise to get rid of in case of natural pregnancies, also apply to women who undergo an IVF. Consumption of alcohol and having a bad nutritional diet are also contributing factors to multiple conception failures. IVF cycle outcomes can also be affected if the woman undergoing IVF is underweight or overweight.\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>After IVF failure: What next?</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1470930050.png\">\r\nIf your first IVF cycle has failed, it may be useful to find out the reason behind its failure. It may have been due to the woman’s maternal age, cause and duration of infertility, history of previous pregnancies, male factor (sperm count and quality), and lifestyle influence. The younger the age of the woman, the greater is the possibility of an IVF to succeed. A woman in her 20s has 60-70% higher chances of conceiving in the very first in-vitro cycle. In case of a first-time IVF failure, your fertility specialist would generally recommend you to undergo another cycle because with every cycle, the chances of a woman to conceive become more. \r\nIn case of two failed in-vitro cycles, the couple needs to undergo another cycle, after determining the cause of failure during the previous two cycles. However, a third-time IVF failure can only mean an underlying condition that is disrupting the in-vitro implantation, leading to repeated failure. In such cases, it is advisable to opt for a more specific and advanced pregnancy treatment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Advanced treatments after multiple IVF failures</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1303695934.png\">\r\n\r\nDespite having recurrent IVF failures, there is still hope of conceiving with the other advanced treatment options now available. These pregnancy procedures can be carried out once your fertility specialist has analyzed your previous cycles to rule out the reason behind the IVF failure. \r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Frozen embryo transfer:</li> FET is a procedure in which healthy embryos (blastocysts) from a previous in-vitro cycle are frozen and preserved for use at a later time. This technique is fast gaining popularity over conventional in-vitro cycles. \r\n<li>Intracytoplasmic sperm injection: </li>Often abbreviated as ICSI, this is an advancement in the conventional IVF procedure. During this procedure, the egg is directly fertilized by injecting with a single live sperm. ICSI is a good option for couples where the male suffers from male factor infertility. \r\n<li>Intracytoplasmic morphologically-selected sperm injection: </li>IMSI is another advancement in the traditional IVF procedure. It is similar to ICSI except that in IMSI, the sperm is first analyzed under high magnification to select only the sperm which has the best morphology. This procedure is helpful in case the male partner’s sperm has quality issues. \r\nTreatment of immunological causes of infertility before proceeding with the next cycle.\r\nPreimplantation genetic testing of embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before embryo transfer.\r\n\r\nWith the latest medical advancements in the field of fertility treatment, it is now possible for a woman to conceive in spite of multiple IVF failures. However, it is important to let your fertility specialist run a battery of tests on you and your partner to ascertain the cause behind IVF failure.

that affects women of childbearing age. In this condition, the ovaries tend to produce excess androgens, a male sex hormone that is usually present in small amounts in women. The name, polycystic ovarian syndrome, describes numerous small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) in the ovaries. However, these are different from the other ovarian cysts which require surgery. PCOS can have an impact on a woman’s overall health as well as their physical appearance. Although common, PCOS is often a treatable condition.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Impact of PCOS on Fertility</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\">\r\n\r\nHormonal imbalances in women may result in excessive amounts of androgens, the formation of cysts in the ovaries, the thickening of the outer well of the ovaries, and insulin resistance. All these changes can interfere with the process of ovulation in women. One of the common signs to understand this is missed or irregular periods.\r\n\r\n<strong>Signs and symptoms</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\">\r\nThe symptoms of PCOS may include:\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Missed or irregular periods\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Infertility\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Skin tags \r\n</li>\r\n<li>Acne or oily skin\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Ovaries that are large or have several cysts\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Excess body hair (hirsutism)\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Male pattern baldness or thinning of hair\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Dark or thick skin patches at the back of the neck, in the armpits, and under the breast\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>Diagnosis</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\">\r\n\r\nPCOS is diagnosed in the following ways:\r\nTo begin with, your healthcare provider will take your complete medical history along with your symptoms. Following that, you will have to undergo a thorough physical examination, especially of the pelvic region. This includes checking the reproductive organs closely. \r\nA few additional tests may also be ordered to confirm the diagnosis. These include:\r\nPelvic ultrasound: This test creates images of blood arteries, tissues, and organs using sound waves and a computer. It examines the size of the ovaries as well as the presence of cysts in them. It also provides information on the thickness of the endometrium (inner lining of the uterus). \r\nBlood tests: These tests provide information on the levels of androgen and other hormones in women. Additionally, it may provide information on blood glucose, cholesterol, and thyroid levels.\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>Treatment\r\n</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\">\r\n\r\nThere is no treatment available for PCOS as such. However, the symptoms can be treated and managed well. Infertility treatment caused by PCOS involves correcting ovulation issues and tackling metabolic problems, such as insulin resistance. If you have a BMI of 30 or above, your healthcare professional may advise you to lose weight by adopting a healthy eating pattern and regular exercise. \r\nIf you don’t wish to become pregnant, hormonal birth control pills may be helpful. However, a few treatments that may help you ovulate and conceive include:\r\nMedicines that stimulate ovulation (releasing an egg)\r\nThese medications work by stimulating the ovary to grow eggs. These are taken once a day for five days at the start of your menstrual cycle.\r\nThese drugs work quite effectively in helping women with PCOS to ovulate. However, these are started at the lowest possible dose and increased as needed, by your healthcare practitioner.\r\nInsulin-sensitizing drugs\r\nThese medications are effective in women with insulin resistance - a condition where insulin fails to act in the body. These drugs aren’t first-line treatments for PCOS but can be used to encourage regular periods and ovulation. They may not be as effective as other treatments of PCOS in helping women to become pregnant but can stimulate ovulation. \r\nHormone injections\r\nThese are injectable hormones that facilitate ovarian stimulation and ovulation. This treatment may require frequent doctor visits to monitor your body’s response to the drug.\r\nSurgery\r\nSurgery in the form of laparoscopic ovarian drilling is recommended for patients who do not respond to medications. Although rare, it may be an option.\r\n\r\n<strong>Complications of PCOS</strong>\r\nIf left untreated, women with PCOS may be likely to develop serious health conditions such as\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Type 2 diabetes mellitus</li>\r\n<li>High blood pressure\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Heart diseases\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Sleep disorders\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Depression and anxiety\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Infertility\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Uterine cancer\r\n</li>\r\n\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nPCOS is a common hormonal problem in women of childbearing age these days. It affects the menstrual cycle and causes many symptoms. It is best to speak with a healthcare provider if you believe you are experiencing any PCOS-related symptoms. You can control the symptoms, reduce risk factors, and increase your chances of getting pregnant with the help of medical interventions and lifestyle modifications.\r\nNU Hospitals located in Bangalore, India provides special effective treatment for PCOS by well-trained doctors to handle even the most delicate cases with expertise. If you are suffering from PCOS, or have any queries related to infertility, consult the specialist at NU Hospitals today!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>After IVF failure: What next?</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1470930050.png\">\r\nIf your first IVF cycle has failed, it may be useful to find out the reason behind its failure. It may have been due to the woman’s maternal age, cause and duration of infertility, history of previous pregnancies, male factor (sperm count and quality), and lifestyle influence. The younger the age of the woman, the greater is the possibility of an IVF to succeed. A woman in her 20s has 60-70% higher chances of conceiving in the very first in-vitro cycle. In case of a first-time IVF failure, your fertility specialist would generally recommend you to undergo another cycle because with every cycle, the chances of a woman to conceive become more. \r\nIn case of two failed in-vitro cycles, the couple needs to undergo another cycle, after determining the cause of failure during the previous two cycles. However, a third-time IVF failure can only mean an underlying condition that is disrupting the in-vitro implantation, leading to repeated failure. In such cases, it is advisable to opt for a more specific and advanced pregnancy treatment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Advanced treatments after multiple IVF failures</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1303695934.png\">\r\n\r\nDespite having recurrent IVF failures, there is still hope of conceiving with the other advanced treatment options now available. These pregnancy procedures can be carried out once your fertility specialist has analyzed your previous cycles to rule out the reason behind the IVF failure. \r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Frozen embryo transfer:</li> FET is a procedure in which healthy embryos (blastocysts) from a previous in-vitro cycle are frozen and preserved for use at a later time. This technique is fast gaining popularity over conventional in-vitro cycles. \r\n<li>Intracytoplasmic sperm injection: </li>Often abbreviated as ICSI, this is an advancement in the conventional IVF procedure. During this procedure, the egg is directly fertilized by injecting with a single live sperm. ICSI is a good option for couples where the male suffers from male factor infertility. \r\n<li>Intracytoplasmic morphologically-selected sperm injection: </li>IMSI is another advancement in the traditional IVF procedure. It is similar to ICSI except that in IMSI, the sperm is first analyzed under high magnification to select only the sperm which has the best morphology. This procedure is helpful in case the male partner’s sperm has quality issues. \r\nTreatment of immunological causes of infertility before proceeding with the next cycle.\r\nPreimplantation genetic testing of embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before embryo transfer.\r\n\r\nWith the latest medical advancements in the field of fertility treatment, it is now possible for a woman to conceive in spite of multiple IVF failures. However, it is important to let your fertility specialist run a battery of tests on you and your partner to ascertain the cause behind IVF failure. Your desire to become parents is no longer a dream!\r\nNU Fertility at NU hospitals is the best place for IVF failure treatment in Bangalore, India.

A topical numbing cream may be applied on the outside of your vagina prior to the pelvic exam to reduce discomfort.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>References:</strong>\r\n\r\n1.

that affects women of childbearing age. In this condition, the ovaries tend to produce excess androgens, a male sex hormone that is usually present in small amounts in women. The name, polycystic ovarian syndrome, describes numerous small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) in the ovaries. However, these are different from the other ovarian cysts which require surgery. PCOS can have an impact on a woman’s overall health as well as their physical appearance. Although common, PCOS is often a treatable condition.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Impact of PCOS on Fertility</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\">\r\n\r\nHormonal imbalances in women may result in excessive amounts of androgens, the formation of cysts in the ovaries, the thickening of the outer well of the ovaries, and insulin resistance. All these changes can interfere with the process of ovulation in women. One of the common signs to understand this is missed or irregular periods.\r\n\r\n<strong>Signs and symptoms</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\">\r\nThe symptoms of PCOS may include:\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Missed or irregular periods\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Infertility\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Skin tags \r\n</li>\r\n<li>Acne or oily skin\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Ovaries that are large or have several cysts\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Excess body hair (hirsutism)\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Male pattern baldness or thinning of hair\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Dark or thick skin patches at the back of the neck, in the armpits, and under the breast\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>Diagnosis</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\">\r\n\r\nPCOS is diagnosed in the following ways:\r\nTo begin with, your healthcare provider will take your complete medical history along with your symptoms. Following that, you will have to undergo a thorough physical examination, especially of the pelvic region. This includes checking the reproductive organs closely. \r\nA few additional tests may also be ordered to confirm the diagnosis. These include:\r\nPelvic ultrasound: This test creates images of blood arteries, tissues, and organs using sound waves and a computer. It examines the size of the ovaries as well as the presence of cysts in them. It also provides information on the thickness of the endometrium (inner lining of the uterus). \r\nBlood tests: These tests provide information on the levels of androgen and other hormones in women. Additionally, it may provide information on blood glucose, cholesterol, and thyroid levels.\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>Treatment\r\n</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\">\r\n\r\nThere is no treatment available for PCOS as such. However, the symptoms can be treated and managed well. Infertility treatment caused by PCOS involves correcting ovulation issues and tackling metabolic problems, such as insulin resistance. If you have a BMI of 30 or above, your healthcare professional may advise you to lose weight by adopting a healthy eating pattern and regular exercise. \r\nIf you don’t wish to become pregnant, hormonal birth control pills may be helpful. However, a few treatments that may help you ovulate and conceive include:\r\nMedicines that stimulate ovulation (releasing an egg)\r\nThese medications work by stimulating the ovary to grow eggs. These are taken once a day for five days at the start of your menstrual cycle.\r\nThese drugs work quite effectively in helping women with PCOS to ovulate. However, these are started at the lowest possible dose and increased as needed, by your healthcare practitioner.\r\nInsulin-sensitizing drugs\r\nThese medications are effective in women with insulin resistance - a condition where insulin fails to act in the body. These drugs aren’t first-line treatments for PCOS but can be used to encourage regular periods and ovulation. They may not be as effective as other treatments of PCOS in helping women to become pregnant but can stimulate ovulation. \r\nHormone injections\r\nThese are injectable hormones that facilitate ovarian stimulation and ovulation. This treatment may require frequent doctor visits to monitor your body’s response to the drug.\r\nSurgery\r\nSurgery in the form of laparoscopic ovarian drilling is recommended for patients who do not respond to medications. Although rare, it may be an option.\r\n\r\n<strong>Complications of PCOS</strong>\r\nIf left untreated, women with PCOS may be likely to develop serious health conditions such as\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Type 2 diabetes mellitus</li>\r\n<li>High blood pressure\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Heart diseases\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Sleep disorders\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Depression and anxiety\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Infertility\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Uterine cancer\r\n</li>\r\n\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nPCOS is a common hormonal problem in women of childbearing age these days. It affects the menstrual cycle and causes many symptoms. It is best to speak with a healthcare provider if you believe you are experiencing any PCOS-related symptoms. You can control the symptoms, reduce risk factors, and increase your chances of getting pregnant with the help of medical interventions and lifestyle modifications.\r\nNU Hospitals located in Bangalore, India provides special effective treatment for PCOS by well-trained doctors to handle even the most delicate cases with expertise.

that affects women of childbearing age. In this condition, the ovaries tend to produce excess androgens, a male sex hormone that is usually present in small amounts in women. The name, polycystic ovarian syndrome, describes numerous small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) in the ovaries. However, these are different from the other ovarian cysts which require surgery. PCOS can have an impact on a woman’s overall health as well as their physical appearance. Although common, PCOS is often a treatable condition.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Impact of PCOS on Fertility</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\">\r\n\r\nHormonal imbalances in women may result in excessive amounts of androgens, the formation of cysts in the ovaries, the thickening of the outer well of the ovaries, and insulin resistance. All these changes can interfere with the process of ovulation in women. One of the common signs to understand this is missed or irregular periods.\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Signs and symptoms</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\">\r\nThe symptoms of PCOS may include:\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Missed or irregular periods\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Infertility\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Skin tags \r\n</li>\r\n<li>Acne or oily skin\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Ovaries that are large or have several cysts\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Excess body hair (hirsutism)\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Male pattern baldness or thinning of hair\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Dark or thick skin patches at the back of the neck, in the armpits, and under the breast\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Diagnosis</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\">\r\n\r\nPCOS is diagnosed in the following ways:\r\nTo begin with, your healthcare provider will take your complete medical history along with your symptoms. Following that, you will have to undergo a thorough physical examination, especially of the pelvic region. This includes checking the reproductive organs closely. \r\nA few additional tests may also be ordered to confirm the diagnosis. These include:\r\nPelvic ultrasound: This test creates images of blood arteries, tissues, and organs using sound waves and a computer. It examines the size of the ovaries as well as the presence of cysts in them. It also provides information on the thickness of the endometrium (inner lining of the uterus). \r\nBlood tests: These tests provide information on the levels of androgen and other hormones in women. Additionally, it may provide information on blood glucose, cholesterol, and thyroid levels.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Treatment\r\n</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\">\r\n\r\nThere is no treatment available for PCOS as such. However, the symptoms can be treated and managed well. Infertility treatment caused by PCOS involves correcting ovulation issues and tackling metabolic problems, such as insulin resistance. If you have a BMI of 30 or above, your healthcare professional may advise you to lose weight by adopting a healthy eating pattern and regular exercise. \r\nIf you don’t wish to become pregnant, hormonal birth control pills may be helpful. However, a few treatments that may help you ovulate and conceive include:\r\nMedicines that stimulate ovulation (releasing an egg)\r\nThese medications work by stimulating the ovary to grow eggs. These are taken once a day for five days at the start of your menstrual cycle.\r\nThese drugs work quite effectively in helping women with PCOS to ovulate. However, these are started at the lowest possible dose and increased as needed, by your healthcare practitioner.\r\nInsulin-sensitizing drugs\r\nThese medications are effective in women with insulin resistance - a condition where insulin fails to act in the body. These drugs aren’t first-line treatments for PCOS but can be used to encourage regular periods and ovulation. They may not be as effective as other treatments of PCOS in helping women to become pregnant but can stimulate ovulation. \r\nHormone injections\r\nThese are injectable hormones that facilitate ovarian stimulation and ovulation. This treatment may require frequent doctor visits to monitor your body’s response to the drug.\r\nSurgery\r\nSurgery in the form of laparoscopic ovarian drilling is recommended for patients who do not respond to medications. Although rare, it may be an option.\r\n\r\n<strong>Complications of PCOS</strong>\r\nIf left untreated, women with PCOS may be likely to develop serious health conditions such as\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Type 2 diabetes mellitus</li>\r\n<li>High blood pressure\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Heart diseases\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Sleep disorders\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Depression and anxiety\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Infertility\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Uterine cancer\r\n</li>\r\n\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nPCOS is a common hormonal problem in women of childbearing age these days. It affects the menstrual cycle and causes many symptoms. It is best to speak with a healthcare provider if you believe you are experiencing any PCOS-related symptoms. You can control the symptoms, reduce risk factors, and increase your chances of getting pregnant with the help of medical interventions and lifestyle modifications.\r\nNU Hospitals located in Bangalore, India provides special effective treatment for PCOS by well-trained doctors to handle even the most delicate cases with expertise.

ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a health condition that affects women of childbearing age. In this condition, the ovaries tend to produce excess androgens, a male sex hormone that is usually present in small amounts in women. The name, polycystic ovarian syndrome, describes numerous small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) in the ovaries. However, these are different from the other ovarian cysts which require surgery. PCOS can have an impact on a woman’s overall health as well as their physical appearance. Although common, PCOS is often a treatable condition.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Impact of PCOS on Fertility</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1561328644.png\">\r\n\r\nHormonal imbalances in women may result in excessive amounts of androgens, the formation of cysts in the ovaries, the thickening of the outer well of the ovaries, and insulin resistance. All these changes can interfere with the process of ovulation in women. One of the common signs to understand this is missed or irregular periods.\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Signs and symptoms</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2047682852.png\">\r\nThe symptoms of PCOS may include:\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Missed or irregular periods\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Infertility\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Skin tags \r\n</li>\r\n<li>Acne or oily skin\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Ovaries that are large or have several cysts\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Excess body hair (hirsutism)\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Male pattern baldness or thinning of hair\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Dark or thick skin patches at the back of the neck, in the armpits, and under the breast\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Causes</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2146470515.png\">\r\n\r\nThe exact cause of PCOS still remains unclear. However, it has been shown that most women with PCOS have insulin resistance, which means their bodies cannot utilize insulin effectively. Accumulated insulin levels in the body lead to potential rise in androgen levels. Obesity can also raise insulin levels, worsening PCOS symptoms.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Diagnosis</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1482452312.png\">\r\n\r\nPCOS is diagnosed in the following ways:\r\nTo begin with, your healthcare provider will take your complete medical history along with your symptoms. Following that, you will have to undergo a thorough physical examination, especially of the pelvic region. This includes checking the reproductive organs closely. \r\nA few additional tests may also be ordered to confirm the diagnosis. These include:\r\nPelvic ultrasound: This test creates images of blood arteries, tissues, and organs using sound waves and a computer. It examines the size of the ovaries as well as the presence of cysts in them. It also provides information on the thickness of the endometrium (inner lining of the uterus). \r\nBlood tests: These tests provide information on the levels of androgen and other hormones in women. Additionally, it may provide information on blood glucose, cholesterol, and thyroid levels.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Treatment\r\n</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\">\r\n\r\nThere is no treatment available for PCOS as such. However, the symptoms can be treated and managed well. Infertility treatment caused by PCOS involves correcting ovulation issues and tackling metabolic problems, such as insulin resistance. If you have a BMI of 30 or above, your healthcare professional may advise you to lose weight by adopting a healthy eating pattern and regular exercise. \r\nIf you don’t wish to become pregnant, hormonal birth control pills may be helpful. However, a few treatments that may help you ovulate and conceive include:\r\nMedicines that stimulate ovulation (releasing an egg)\r\nThese medications work by stimulating the ovary to grow eggs. These are taken once a day for five days at the start of your menstrual cycle.\r\nThese drugs work quite effectively in helping women with PCOS to ovulate. However, these are started at the lowest possible dose and increased as needed, by your healthcare practitioner.\r\nInsulin-sensitizing drugs\r\nThese medications are effective in women with insulin resistance - a condition where insulin fails to act in the body. These drugs aren’t first-line treatments for PCOS but can be used to encourage regular periods and ovulation. They may not be as effective as other treatments of PCOS in helping women to become pregnant but can stimulate ovulation. \r\nHormone injections\r\nThese are injectable hormones that facilitate ovarian stimulation and ovulation. This treatment may require frequent doctor visits to monitor your body’s response to the drug.\r\nSurgery\r\nSurgery in the form of laparoscopic ovarian drilling is recommended for patients who do not respond to medications. Although rare, it may be an option.\r\n\r\n<strong>Complications of PCOS</strong>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1056416111.png\">\r\nIf left untreated, women with PCOS may be likely to develop serious health conditions such as\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Type 2 diabetes mellitus</li>\r\n<li>High blood pressure\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Heart diseases\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Sleep disorders\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Depression and anxiety\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Infertility\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Uterine cancer\r\n</li>\r\n\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nPCOS is a common hormonal problem in women of childbearing age these days. It affects the menstrual cycle and causes many symptoms. It is best to speak with a healthcare provider if you believe you are experiencing any PCOS-related symptoms. You can control the symptoms, reduce risk factors, and increase your chances of getting pregnant with the help of medical interventions and lifestyle modifications.\r\nNU Hospitals located in Bangalore, India provides special effective treatment for PCOS by well-trained doctors to handle even the most delicate cases with expertise.

freezing?</h2>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2318441321.png\">\r\nSocial egg freezing is the process of obtaining the eggs of a healthy and fertile woman, followed by the freezing and preservation of these eggs to have a pregnancy later on in life, typically after 35 years when fertility potential decreases. Ideally, it is performed on women aged 25 to 35 to increase the likelihood of a future pregnancy. Egg freezing can be performed using slow-frozen or flash-frozen protocols; however, the latter method has been found to enhance oocyte survival after thawing and has been associated with an increase in pregnancy rates. It is, therefore, the recommended method of <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/embryo-transfer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">egg freezing</a> as certified by the medical associations.\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\">Suitable candidates for egg freezing</h2>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1233205303.png\">\r\nIf you\'re a woman between the age of 25 and 35 who wants to start a family but can\'t do it right now, egg freezing might be a good option for you. If you\'re undergoing any invasive treatments, such as chemotherapy, that can reduce the fertility of your eggs, egg freezing might be the best option. It\'s also a good option for women whose ovaries have been removed or other diseases have affected their reproductive health.\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\">Benefits of social egg freezing</h2>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_566796565.png\">\r\nThe process of social egg freezing followed by IVF and embryo transfer provides significant advantages for women who expect to become pregnant in their later years of life. These include:\r\nFertility preservation: By freezing eggs, individuals can increase their chances of conceiving a healthy baby in the future and provide them with the possibility of becoming a genetic parent.\r\nGiving birth to a healthy child: The earlier eggs are retrieved, particularly up to 35 years of age, the greater the likelihood of the fertilised egg developing into a healthy embryo, thus reducing the risk of chromosomal abnormalities.\r\nPeace of mind: Egg freezing is not a guarantee of future pregnancy, but it significantly increases your chances of becoming pregnant in the later stages of life, ensuring peace of mind.\r\nPreventive step: Egg freezing can also be used as a preventative measure before an invasive treatment or operation, allowing individuals to prepare for assisted reproduction treatments in the event of a natural conception being compromised.\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\">Risks associated with social egg freezing</h2>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1671926113.png\">\r\nIt is important to know about the health risks associated with ovarian stimulation or egg retrieval. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome may be the most significant medical risk associated with egg freezing. Mild to moderate ovarian hyperstimulation symptoms may include tiredness, nausea, headache, abdominal discomfort, tenderness, and irritability. These side effects are usually managed conservatively. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome can be prevented by careful monitoring of the egg stimulation cycle and when done by experienced specialists.\r\nWomen who attempt to conceive through the use of their frozen-thawed eggs usually have healthy children. The risk of abnormality in the baby is almost similar to a child conceived naturally.\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\">Societal implications of social egg freezing</h2>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2322077927.png\">\r\nThe increased visibility of social egg freezing in the media may lead to an increase in the number of young women opting to freeze their eggs to secure the possibility of having a genetically related child.\r\nSocial egg freezing is often presented as a ‘back-up’ that provides young fertile women with the opportunity to pursue long-term relationships, finish their education, become financially secure, or progress in their careers without worrying about their fertility in the future. This can have a significant impact on the way some women think about their reproductive choices.\r\nChanging the way women are seen in society requires a strategic shift in mindset to reduce the negative consequences. It takes a collective braided effort from all sides of society to make a big change, and social egg-freezing is one way to do that.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NU Fertility</a> at NU Hospitals, Bangalore, India offers the best fertility treatment.

to Know</h3>\r\n\r\nVaginismus refers to a condition when muscles around your vagina get tensed up or contract involuntarily. The vagina is a part of the female reproductive system and connects the lower part of the uterus (cervix) with the outside of your body. These involuntary muscle spasms happen when something like a penis, a finger, a tampon, or a medical instrument tries to penetrate your vagina. These spasms can be mild or very painful.\r\nVaginismus symptoms may appear during the late teen years or early adulthood, when a woman has sex for the first time. The condition can also happen the first time a woman tries to insert a tampon or has a pelvic exam at a healthcare provider’s office.\r\nSome women develop vaginismus later in life. This can occur after years without any problems. Spasms or discomfort may occur anytime there’s vaginal penetration or they may happen at certain times, such as during sex or pelvic exams.\r\nVaginismus can lead to infertility and can have a negative impact on a woman\'s sense of femininity, her ability to become pregnant, and on the maternal and fetal prognosis during pregnancy.\r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Causes of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_688715386.png\">\r\n\r\nVaginismus is a condition that can lead to physical, psychological, relationship and sexual problems. The underlying cause of this condition is not fully understood. Vaginal pain can be exacerbated by bladder infections, urinary tract infections, and yeast infections.\r\nA variety of factors may cause vaginismus, including:\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li>Anxiety </li>\r\n  <li>Vaginal tears caused due to childbirth</li>\r\n  <li>Previous surgery</li>\r\n  <li>Fear of intercourse </li>\r\n  <li>Previous sexual abuse / unpleasant sexual experience</li>\r\n\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Signs and symptoms of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1970456594.png\">\r\nCommon symptoms of vaginismus include:\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Pain or discomfort during vaginal penetration.</li>\r\n 	<li>Inability to have sexual intercourse or pelvic examination due to vaginal muscle contractions or pain.</li>\r\n 	<li>Pain during intercourse.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Diagnosis of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_647822209.png\">\r\n\r\nYour healthcare provider will ask you questions about your symptoms, medical, and sexual history. A pelvic examination can help determine if there are any other issues or the presence of muscle spasms. A topical numbing cream may be applied on the outside of your vagina prior to the pelvic exam to reduce discomfort.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Management and treatment of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2354970963-1.png\">\r\n\r\nThe primary objective of vaginismus treatment is to reduce the reflex of the muscles that cause them to contract. Additionally, the treatment is designed to address the underlying fears or anxieties that may be contributing to the condition.\r\nYour healthcare provider may suggest one or a combination of the following treatments:\r\n<b>Counselling</b> \r\nWomen participate in a limited number of counselling sessions, either alone or with a partner, in which they are provided with information on sexual disorders. Additionally, sessions are conducted in which doctors assist women in overcoming their psychological fear of vaginal penetration in order to better respond to it. Women are provided with comprehensive information on female anatomy, pelvic floor muscles, and sexual intercourse. Furthermore, patients are given insight into vaginismus and the treatment options available for them, based on the nature of the disorder. Husband/ male partner is also involved in the process.\r\n\r\n<b>Topical therapy</b>\r\nThe use of topical creams may be beneficial in relieving the symptoms of vaginismus.\r\n\r\n<b>Vaginal dilator therapy</b>\r\nA vaginal dilator is a tube-shaped device that is available in a range of sizes. The primary purpose of a vaginal dilator is to relax the muscles around the vagina. Patients with vaginismus use a dilator to become more receptive and less sensitive to vaginal penetration. A local numbing cream may be applied to the external surface of the vagina prior to insertion of the vaginal dilator.\r\n\r\n<b>Kegel exercises</b>\r\nKegel exercises involve the contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles. These exercises are highly beneficial and in addition to the treatment of vaginismus, are also used to treat various other conditions, such as urinary incontinence. To perform this exercise, one must contract the muscles of the pelvic floor and release them repeatedly. Depending on the individual\'s health, a doctor may recommend performing these exercises for a certain number of times daily.\r\n\r\n<b>Botox injections<b>\r\nThe use of Botox injections has been demonstrated to be a highly effective treatment for vaginismus. These injections have been found to reduce the intensity of the most painful spasms and their effects remain long-lasting, even after Botox has worn off.\r\n\r\n<b>Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)</b>\r\nThe purpose of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is to help understand how the thought processes influence one\'s emotional state and behaviour. This therapy can be used to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).\r\n\r\n<b>Relaxation techniques </b>\r\nRelaxation techniques, such as breathing exercises and hypnosis, can also be employed to reduce stress and manage vaginismus.\r\n\r\n<b>Sex therapy</b>\r\nTrained sex therapists assist individuals and couples in finding a sense of pleasure in their sexual relations.\r\n\r\nIf you’ve been diagnosed with or are experiencing symptoms of vaginismus, it is important to know what treatment options are available to help you manage the condition. Getting timely help to treat this condition can help you lead a more fulfilling life. \r\nNU Fertility at NU Hospitals, based in Bangalore, provides modern treatment options for women suffering from https://www.nufertility.com/female-infertility.

to Know</h3>\r\n\r\nVaginismus refers to a condition when muscles around your vagina get tensed up or contract involuntarily. The vagina is a part of the female reproductive system and connects the lower part of the uterus (cervix) with the outside of your body. These involuntary muscle spasms happen when something like a penis, a finger, a tampon, or a medical instrument tries to penetrate your vagina. These spasms can be mild or very painful.\r\nVaginismus symptoms may appear during the late teen years or early adulthood, when a woman has sex for the first time. The condition can also happen the first time a woman tries to insert a tampon or has a pelvic exam at a healthcare provider’s office.\r\nSome women develop vaginismus later in life. This can occur after years without any problems. Spasms or discomfort may occur anytime there’s vaginal penetration or they may happen at certain times, such as during sex or pelvic exams.\r\nVaginismus can lead to infertility and can have a negative impact on a woman\'s sense of femininity, her ability to become pregnant, and on the maternal and fetal prognosis during pregnancy.\r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Causes of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_688715386.png\">\r\n\r\nVaginismus is a condition that can lead to physical, psychological, relationship and sexual problems. The underlying cause of this condition is not fully understood. Vaginal pain can be exacerbated by bladder infections, urinary tract infections, and yeast infections.\r\nA variety of factors may cause vaginismus, including:\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li>Anxiety </li>\r\n  <li>Vaginal tears caused due to childbirth</li>\r\n  <li>Previous surgery</li>\r\n  <li>Fear of intercourse </li>\r\n  <li>Previous sexual abuse / unpleasant sexual experience</li>\r\n\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Signs and symptoms of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1970456594.png\">\r\nCommon symptoms of vaginismus include:\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Pain or discomfort during vaginal penetration.</li>\r\n 	<li>Inability to have sexual intercourse or pelvic examination due to vaginal muscle contractions or pain.</li>\r\n 	<li>Pain during intercourse.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Diagnosis of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_647822209.png\">\r\n\r\nYour healthcare provider will ask you questions about your symptoms, medical, and sexual history. A pelvic examination can help determine if there are any other issues or the presence of muscle spasms. A topical numbing cream may be applied on the outside of your vagina prior to the pelvic exam to reduce discomfort.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Management and treatment of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2354970963-1.png\">\r\n\r\nThe primary objective of vaginismus treatment is to reduce the reflex of the muscles that cause them to contract. Additionally, the treatment is designed to address the underlying fears or anxieties that may be contributing to the condition.\r\nYour healthcare provider may suggest one or a combination of the following treatments:\r\n<b>Counselling</b> \r\nWomen participate in a limited number of counselling sessions, either alone or with a partner, in which they are provided with information on sexual disorders. Additionally, sessions are conducted in which doctors assist women in overcoming their psychological fear of vaginal penetration in order to better respond to it. Women are provided with comprehensive information on female anatomy, pelvic floor muscles, and sexual intercourse. Furthermore, patients are given insight into vaginismus and the treatment options available for them, based on the nature of the disorder. Husband/ male partner is also involved in the process.\r\n\r\n<b>Topical therapy</b>\r\nThe use of topical creams may be beneficial in relieving the symptoms of vaginismus.\r\n\r\n<b>Vaginal dilator therapy</b>\r\nA vaginal dilator is a tube-shaped device that is available in a range of sizes. The primary purpose of a vaginal dilator is to relax the muscles around the vagina. Patients with vaginismus use a dilator to become more receptive and less sensitive to vaginal penetration. A local numbing cream may be applied to the external surface of the vagina prior to insertion of the vaginal dilator.\r\n\r\n<b>Kegel exercises</b>\r\nKegel exercises involve the contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles. These exercises are highly beneficial and in addition to the treatment of vaginismus, are also used to treat various other conditions, such as urinary incontinence. To perform this exercise, one must contract the muscles of the pelvic floor and release them repeatedly. Depending on the individual\'s health, a doctor may recommend performing these exercises for a certain number of times daily.\r\n\r\n<b>Botox injections</b>\r\nThe use of Botox injections has been demonstrated to be a highly effective treatment for vaginismus. These injections have been found to reduce the intensity of the most painful spasms and their effects remain long-lasting, even after Botox has worn off.\r\n\r\n<b>Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)</b>\r\nThe purpose of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is to help understand how the thought processes influence one\'s emotional state and behaviour. This therapy can be used to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).\r\n\r\n<b>Relaxation techniques </b>\r\nRelaxation techniques, such as breathing exercises and hypnosis, can also be employed to reduce stress and manage vaginismus.\r\n\r\n<b>Sex therapy</b>\r\nTrained sex therapists assist individuals and couples in finding a sense of pleasure in their sexual relations.\r\n\r\nIf you’ve been diagnosed with or are experiencing symptoms of vaginismus, it is important to know what treatment options are available to help you manage the condition. Getting timely help to treat this condition can help you lead a more fulfilling life. \r\nNU Fertility at NU Hospitals, based in Bangalore, provides modern treatment options for women suffering from https://www.nufertility.com/female-infertility.

Need to Know</h3>\r\nVaginismus refers to a condition when muscles around your vagina get tensed up or contract involuntarily. The vagina is a part of the female reproductive system and connects the lower part of the uterus (cervix) with the outside of your body. These involuntary muscle spasms happen when something like a penis, a finger, a tampon, or a medical instrument tries to penetrate your vagina. These spasms can be mild or very painful.\r\nVaginismus symptoms may appear during the late teen years or early adulthood, when a woman has sex for the first time. The condition can also happen the first time a woman tries to insert a tampon or has a pelvic exam at a healthcare provider’s office.\r\nSome women develop vaginismus later in life. This can occur after years without any problems. Spasms or discomfort may occur anytime there’s vaginal penetration or they may happen at certain times, such as during sex or pelvic exams.\r\nVaginismus can lead to infertility and can have a negative impact on a woman\'s sense of femininity, her ability to become pregnant, and on the maternal and fetal prognosis during pregnancy.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Causes of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_688715386.png\" alt=\"Depressed Sad Women - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nVaginismus is a condition that can lead to physical, psychological, relationship and sexual problems. The underlying cause of this condition is not fully understood. Vaginal pain can be exacerbated by bladder infections, urinary tract infections, and yeast infections.\r\nA variety of factors may cause vaginismus, including:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Anxiety</li>\r\n 	<li>Vaginal tears caused due to childbirth</li>\r\n 	<li>Previous surgery</li>\r\n 	<li>Fear of intercourse</li>\r\n 	<li>Previous sexual abuse / unpleasant sexual experience</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Signs and symptoms of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1970456594.png\" alt=\"Women Suffering from Pain - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\nCommon symptoms of vaginismus include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Pain or discomfort during vaginal penetration.</li>\r\n 	<li>Inability to have sexual intercourse or pelvic examination due to vaginal muscle contractions or pain.</li>\r\n 	<li>Pain during intercourse.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Diagnosis of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_647822209.png\" alt=\"Vaginal Examination Device - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nYour healthcare provider will ask you questions about your symptoms, medical, and sexual history. A pelvic examination can help determine if there are any other issues or the presence of muscle spasms. A topical numbing cream may be applied on the outside of your vagina prior to the pelvic exam to reduce discomfort.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Management and treatment of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2354970963-1.png\" alt=\"Pelvic floor muscles Exercise - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nThe primary objective of vaginismus treatment is to reduce the reflex of the muscles that cause them to contract. Additionally, the treatment is designed to address the underlying fears or anxieties that may be contributing to the condition.\r\nYour healthcare provider may suggest one or a combination of the following treatments:\r\n<b>Counselling</b>\r\nWomen participate in a limited number of counselling sessions, either alone or with a partner, in which they are provided with information on sexual disorders. Additionally, sessions are conducted in which doctors assist women in overcoming their psychological fear of vaginal penetration in order to better respond to it. Women are provided with comprehensive information on female anatomy, pelvic floor muscles, and sexual intercourse. Furthermore, patients are given insight into vaginismus and the treatment options available for them, based on the nature of the disorder. Husband/ male partner is also involved in the process.\r\n\r\n<b>Topical therapy</b>\r\nThe use of topical creams may be beneficial in relieving the symptoms of vaginismus.\r\n\r\n<b>Vaginal dilator therapy</b>\r\nA vaginal dilator is a tube-shaped device that is available in a range of sizes. The primary purpose of a vaginal dilator is to relax the muscles around the vagina. Patients with vaginismus use a dilator to become more receptive and less sensitive to vaginal penetration. A local numbing cream may be applied to the external surface of the vagina prior to insertion of the vaginal dilator.\r\n\r\n<b>Kegel exercises</b>\r\nKegel exercises involve the contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles. These exercises are highly beneficial and in addition to the treatment of vaginismus, are also used to treat various other conditions, such as urinary incontinence. To perform this exercise, one must contract the muscles of the pelvic floor and release them repeatedly. Depending on the individual\'s health, a doctor may recommend performing these exercises for a certain number of times daily.\r\n\r\n<b>Botox injections</b>\r\nThe use of Botox injections has been demonstrated to be a highly effective treatment for vaginismus. These injections have been found to reduce the intensity of the most painful spasms and their effects remain long-lasting, even after Botox has worn off.\r\n\r\n<b>Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)</b>\r\nThe purpose of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is to help understand how the thought processes influence one\'s emotional state and behaviour. This therapy can be used to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).\r\n\r\n<b>Relaxation techniques </b>\r\nRelaxation techniques, such as breathing exercises and hypnosis, can also be employed to reduce stress and manage vaginismus.\r\n\r\n<b>Sex therapy</b>\r\nTrained sex therapists assist individuals and couples in finding a sense of pleasure in their sexual relations.\r\n\r\nIf you’ve been diagnosed with or are experiencing symptoms of vaginismus, it is important to know what treatment options are available to help you manage the condition. Getting timely help to treat this condition can help you lead a more fulfilling life.\r\nNU Fertility at NU Hospitals, based in Bangalore, provides modern treatment options for women suffering from https://www.nufertility.com/female-infertility.

Need to Know</h3>\r\nVaginismus refers to a condition when muscles around your vagina get tensed up or contract involuntarily. The vagina is a part of the female reproductive system and connects the lower part of the uterus (cervix) with the outside of your body. These involuntary muscle spasms happen when something like a penis, a finger, a tampon, or a medical instrument tries to penetrate your vagina. These spasms can be mild or very painful.\r\nVaginismus symptoms may appear during the late teen years or early adulthood, when a woman has sex for the first time. The condition can also happen the first time a woman tries to insert a tampon or has a pelvic exam at a healthcare provider’s office.\r\nSome women develop vaginismus later in life. This can occur after years without any problems. Spasms or discomfort may occur anytime there’s vaginal penetration or they may happen at certain times, such as during sex or pelvic exams.\r\nVaginismus can lead to infertility and can have a negative impact on a woman\'s sense of femininity, her ability to become pregnant, and on the maternal and fetal prognosis during pregnancy.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Causes of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_688715386.png\" alt=\"Depressed Sad Women - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nVaginismus is a condition that can lead to physical, psychological, relationship and sexual problems. The underlying cause of this condition is not fully understood. Vaginal pain can be exacerbated by bladder infections, urinary tract infections, and yeast infections.\r\nA variety of factors may cause vaginismus, including:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Anxiety</li>\r\n 	<li>Vaginal tears caused due to childbirth</li>\r\n 	<li>Previous surgery</li>\r\n 	<li>Fear of intercourse</li>\r\n 	<li>Previous sexual abuse / unpleasant sexual experience</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Signs and symptoms of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1970456594.png\" alt=\"Women Suffering from Pain - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\nCommon symptoms of vaginismus include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Pain or discomfort during vaginal penetration.</li>\r\n 	<li>Inability to have sexual intercourse or pelvic examination due to vaginal muscle contractions or pain.</li>\r\n 	<li>Pain during intercourse.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Diagnosis of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_647822209.png\" alt=\"Vaginal Examination Device - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nYour healthcare provider will ask you questions about your symptoms, medical, and sexual history. A pelvic examination can help determine if there are any other issues or the presence of muscle spasms. A topical numbing cream may be applied on the outside of your vagina prior to the pelvic exam to reduce discomfort.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Management and treatment of vaginismus</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2354970963-1.png\" alt=\"Pelvic floor muscles Exercise - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nThe primary objective of vaginismus treatment is to reduce the reflex of the muscles that cause them to contract. Additionally, the treatment is designed to address the underlying fears or anxieties that may be contributing to the condition.\r\nYour healthcare provider may suggest one or a combination of the following treatments:\r\n<b>Counselling</b>\r\nWomen participate in a limited number of counselling sessions, either alone or with a partner, in which they are provided with information on sexual disorders. Additionally, sessions are conducted in which doctors assist women in overcoming their psychological fear of vaginal penetration in order to better respond to it. Women are provided with comprehensive information on female anatomy, pelvic floor muscles, and sexual intercourse. Furthermore, patients are given insight into vaginismus and the treatment options available for them, based on the nature of the disorder. Husband/ male partner is also involved in the process.\r\n\r\n<b>Topical therapy</b>\r\nThe use of topical creams may be beneficial in relieving the symptoms of vaginismus.\r\n\r\n<b>Vaginal dilator therapy</b>\r\nA vaginal dilator is a tube-shaped device that is available in a range of sizes. The primary purpose of a vaginal dilator is to relax the muscles around the vagina. Patients with vaginismus use a dilator to become more receptive and less sensitive to vaginal penetration. A local numbing cream may be applied to the external surface of the vagina prior to insertion of the vaginal dilator.\r\n\r\n<b>Kegel exercises</b>\r\nKegel exercises involve the contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles. These exercises are highly beneficial and in addition to the treatment of vaginismus, are also used to treat various other conditions, such as urinary incontinence. To perform this exercise, one must contract the muscles of the pelvic floor and release them repeatedly. Depending on the individual\'s health, a doctor may recommend performing these exercises for a certain number of times daily.\r\n\r\n<b>Botox injections</b>\r\nThe use of Botox injections has been demonstrated to be a highly effective treatment for vaginismus. These injections have been found to reduce the intensity of the most painful spasms and their effects remain long-lasting, even after Botox has worn off.\r\n\r\n<b>Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)</b>\r\nThe purpose of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is to help understand how the thought processes influence one\'s emotional state and behaviour. This therapy can be used to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).\r\n\r\n<b>Relaxation techniques </b>\r\nRelaxation techniques, such as breathing exercises and hypnosis, can also be employed to reduce stress and manage vaginismus.\r\n\r\n<b>Sex therapy</b>\r\nTrained sex therapists assist individuals and couples in finding a sense of pleasure in their sexual relations.\r\n\r\nIf you’ve been diagnosed with or are experiencing symptoms of vaginismus, it is important to know what treatment options are available to help you manage the condition. Getting timely help to treat this condition can help you lead a more fulfilling life.\r\nNU Fertility at NU Hospitals, based in Bangalore, provides modern treatment options for women suffering from https://www.nufertility.com/female-infertility.

that affects women of childbearing age.\n\nIn this condition, the ovaries tend to produce excess androgens, a male sex hormone that is usually present in small amounts in women. The name, polycystic ovarian syndrome, describes numerous small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) in the ovaries.\n\nHowever, these are different from the other ovarian cysts which require surgery. PCOS can have an impact on a woman’s overall health as well as their physical appearance. Although common, PCOS is often a treatable condition.\n\n<!--more-->\n\n&nbsp;\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\">Impact of PCOS on Fertility</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1561328644.png\" alt=\"Missed Period Marking on Calender - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\n\nHormonal imbalances in women may result in excessive amounts of androgens, the formation of cysts in the ovaries, the thickening of the outer well of the ovaries, and insulin resistance. All these changes can interfere with the process of <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/ovulation-induction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ovulation in women</a>. One of the common signs to understand this is missed or irregular periods.\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\">Signs and symptoms</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2047682852.png\" alt=\"Lady Squeezing her Pimples - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\nThe symptoms of PCOS may include:\n<ul>\n 	<li>Missed or irregular periods</li>\n 	<li>Infertility</li>\n 	<li>Skin tags</li>\n 	<li>Acne or oily skin</li>\n 	<li>Ovaries that are large or have several cysts</li>\n 	<li>Excess body hair (hirsutism)</li>\n 	<li>Male pattern baldness or thinning of hair</li>\n 	<li>Dark or thick skin patches at the back of the neck, in the armpits, and under the breast</li>\n</ul>\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\">Causes</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2146470515.png\" alt=\"Blood Samples for Testosterone Test - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\n\nThe exact cause of PCOS still remains unclear. However, it has been shown that most women with PCOS have insulin resistance, which means their bodies cannot utilize insulin effectively. Accumulated insulin levels in the body lead to potential rise in androgen levels. Obesity can also raise insulin levels, worsening PCOS symptoms.\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\">Diagnosis</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1482452312.png\" alt=\"Ultrasound Examination of Women\'s Pelvic - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\n\nPCOS is diagnosed in the following ways:\nTo begin with, your healthcare provider will take your complete medical history along with your symptoms. Following that, you will have to undergo a thorough physical examination, especially of the pelvic region. This includes checking the reproductive organs closely.\nA few additional tests may also be ordered to confirm the diagnosis. These include:\n<b>Pelvic ultrasound: </b>This test creates images of blood arteries, tissues, and organs using sound waves and a computer. It examines the size of the ovaries as well as the presence of cysts in them. It also provides information on the thickness of the endometrium (inner lining of the uterus).\n<b>Blood tests: </b>These tests provide information on the levels of androgen and other hormones in women. Additionally, it may provide information on blood glucose, cholesterol, and thyroid levels.\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\">Treatment</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1562123077.png\" alt=\"Woman Taking Pills for PCOS - NU Fertility \" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\n\nThere is no treatment available for PCOS as such. However, the symptoms can be treated and managed well. <a style=\"color: blue !important;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/female-infertility\">Infertility treatment</a> caused by PCOS involves correcting ovulation issues and tackling metabolic problems, such as insulin resistance. If you have a BMI of 30 or above, your healthcare professional may advise you to lose weight by adopting a healthy eating pattern and regular exercise.\nIf you don’t wish to become pregnant, hormonal birth control pills may be helpful. However, a few treatments that may help you ovulate and conceive include:\n<b>Medicines that stimulate ovulation (releasing an egg)</b>\nThese medications work by stimulating the ovary to grow eggs. These are taken once a day for five days at the start of your menstrual cycle.\nThese drugs work quite effectively in helping women with PCOS to ovulate. However, these are started at the lowest possible dose and increased as needed, by your healthcare practitioner.\n<b>Insulin-sensitizing drugs</b>\nThese medications are effective in women with insulin resistance - a condition where insulin fails to act in the body. These drugs aren’t first-line treatments for PCOS but can be used to encourage regular periods and ovulation. They may not be as effective as other treatments of PCOS in helping women to become pregnant but can stimulate ovulation.\n<b>Hormone injections</b>\nThese are injectable hormones that facilitate ovarian stimulation and ovulation. This treatment may require frequent doctor visits to monitor your body’s response to the drug.\n<b>Surgery</b>\nSurgery in the form of laparoscopic ovarian drilling is recommended for patients who do not respond to medications. Although rare, it may be an option.\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><strong>Complications of PCOS</strong>\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1056416111.png\" alt=\"Depressed Woman Awaked at Night - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\nIf left untreated, women with PCOS may be likely to develop serious health conditions such as</h2>\n<ul>\n 	<li>Type 2 diabetes mellitus</li>\n 	<li>High blood pressure</li>\n 	<li>Heart diseases</li>\n 	<li>Sleep disorders</li>\n 	<li>Depression and anxiety</li>\n 	<li>Infertility</li>\n 	<li>Uterine cancer</li>\n</ul>\nPCOS is a common hormonal problem in women of childbearing age these days.

that affects women of childbearing age. In this condition, the ovaries tend to produce excess androgens, a male sex hormone that is usually present in small amounts in women. The name, polycystic ovarian syndrome, describes numerous small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) in the ovaries. However, these are different from the other ovarian cysts which require surgery. PCOS can have an impact on a woman’s overall health as well as their physical appearance. Although common, PCOS is often a treatable condition.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Impact of PCOS on Fertility</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1561328644.png\" alt=\"Missed Period Marking on Calender - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nHormonal imbalances in women may result in excessive amounts of androgens, the formation of cysts in the ovaries, the thickening of the outer well of the ovaries, and insulin resistance. All these changes can interfere with the process of ovulation in women. One of the common signs to understand this is missed or irregular periods.\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Signs and symptoms</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2047682852.png\" alt=\"Lady Squeezing her Pimples - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\nThe symptoms of PCOS may include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Missed or irregular periods</li>\r\n 	<li>Infertility</li>\r\n 	<li>Skin tags</li>\r\n 	<li>Acne or oily skin</li>\r\n 	<li>Ovaries that are large or have several cysts</li>\r\n 	<li>Excess body hair (hirsutism)</li>\r\n 	<li>Male pattern baldness or thinning of hair</li>\r\n 	<li>Dark or thick skin patches at the back of the neck, in the armpits, and under the breast</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Causes</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2146470515.png\" alt=\"Blood Samples for Testosterone Test - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nThe exact cause of PCOS still remains unclear. However, it has been shown that most women with PCOS have insulin resistance, which means their bodies cannot utilize insulin effectively. Accumulated insulin levels in the body lead to potential rise in androgen levels. Obesity can also raise insulin levels, worsening PCOS symptoms.\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Diagnosis</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1482452312.png\" alt=\"Ultrasound Examination of Women\'s Pelvic - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nPCOS is diagnosed in the following ways:\r\nTo begin with, your healthcare provider will take your complete medical history along with your symptoms. Following that, you will have to undergo a thorough physical examination, especially of the pelvic region. This includes checking the reproductive organs closely.\r\nA few additional tests may also be ordered to confirm the diagnosis. These include:\r\nPelvic ultrasound: This test creates images of blood arteries, tissues, and organs using sound waves and a computer. It examines the size of the ovaries as well as the presence of cysts in them. It also provides information on the thickness of the endometrium (inner lining of the uterus).\r\nBlood tests: These tests provide information on the levels of androgen and other hormones in women. Additionally, it may provide information on blood glucose, cholesterol, and thyroid levels.\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Treatment</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nThere is no treatment available for PCOS as such. However, the symptoms can be treated and managed well. Infertility treatment caused by PCOS involves correcting ovulation issues and tackling metabolic problems, such as insulin resistance. If you have a BMI of 30 or above, your healthcare professional may advise you to lose weight by adopting a healthy eating pattern and regular exercise.\r\nIf you don’t wish to become pregnant, hormonal birth control pills may be helpful. However, a few treatments that may help you ovulate and conceive include:\r\nMedicines that stimulate ovulation (releasing an egg)\r\nThese medications work by stimulating the ovary to grow eggs. These are taken once a day for five days at the start of your menstrual cycle.\r\nThese drugs work quite effectively in helping women with PCOS to ovulate. However, these are started at the lowest possible dose and increased as needed, by your healthcare practitioner.\r\nInsulin-sensitizing drugs\r\nThese medications are effective in women with insulin resistance - a condition where insulin fails to act in the body. These drugs aren’t first-line treatments for PCOS but can be used to encourage regular periods and ovulation. They may not be as effective as other treatments of PCOS in helping women to become pregnant but can stimulate ovulation.\r\nHormone injections\r\nThese are injectable hormones that facilitate ovarian stimulation and ovulation. This treatment may require frequent doctor visits to monitor your body’s response to the drug.\r\nSurgery\r\nSurgery in the form of laparoscopic ovarian drilling is recommended for patients who do not respond to medications. Although rare, it may be an option.\r\n\r\n<strong>Complications of PCOS</strong>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1056416111.png\" alt=\"Depressed Woman Awaked at Night - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\nIf left untreated, women with PCOS may be likely to develop serious health conditions such as\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Type 2 diabetes mellitus</li>\r\n 	<li>High blood pressure</li>\r\n 	<li>Heart diseases</li>\r\n 	<li>Sleep disorders</li>\r\n 	<li>Depression and anxiety</li>\r\n 	<li>Infertility</li>\r\n 	<li>Uterine cancer</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nPCOS is a common hormonal problem in women of childbearing age these days. It affects the menstrual cycle and causes many symptoms. It is best to speak with a healthcare provider if you believe you are experiencing any PCOS-related symptoms. You can control the symptoms, reduce risk factors, and increase your chances of getting pregnant with the help of medical interventions and lifestyle modifications.\r\nNU Hospitals located in Bangalore, India provides special effective treatment for PCOS by well-trained doctors to handle even the most delicate cases with expertise.

that affects women of childbearing age. In this condition, the ovaries tend to produce excess androgens, a male sex hormone that is usually present in small amounts in women. The name, polycystic ovarian syndrome, describes numerous small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) in the ovaries. However, these are different from the other ovarian cysts which require surgery. PCOS can have an impact on a woman’s overall health as well as their physical appearance. Although common, PCOS is often a treatable condition.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Impact of PCOS on Fertility</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1561328644.png\" alt=\"Missed Period Marking on Calender - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nHormonal imbalances in women may result in excessive amounts of androgens, the formation of cysts in the ovaries, the thickening of the outer well of the ovaries, and insulin resistance. All these changes can interfere with the process of ovulation in women. One of the common signs to understand this is missed or irregular periods.\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Signs and symptoms</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2047682852.png\" alt=\"Lady Squeezing her Pimples - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\nThe symptoms of PCOS may include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Missed or irregular periods</li>\r\n 	<li>Infertility</li>\r\n 	<li>Skin tags</li>\r\n 	<li>Acne or oily skin</li>\r\n 	<li>Ovaries that are large or have several cysts</li>\r\n 	<li>Excess body hair (hirsutism)</li>\r\n 	<li>Male pattern baldness or thinning of hair</li>\r\n 	<li>Dark or thick skin patches at the back of the neck, in the armpits, and under the breast</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Causes</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2146470515.png\" alt=\"Blood Samples for Testosterone Test - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nThe exact cause of PCOS still remains unclear. However, it has been shown that most women with PCOS have insulin resistance, which means their bodies cannot utilize insulin effectively. Accumulated insulin levels in the body lead to potential rise in androgen levels. Obesity can also raise insulin levels, worsening PCOS symptoms.\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Diagnosis</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1482452312.png\" alt=\"Ultrasound Examination of Women\'s Pelvic - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nPCOS is diagnosed in the following ways:\r\nTo begin with, your healthcare provider will take your complete medical history along with your symptoms. Following that, you will have to undergo a thorough physical examination, especially of the pelvic region. This includes checking the reproductive organs closely.\r\nA few additional tests may also be ordered to confirm the diagnosis. These include:\r\nPelvic ultrasound: This test creates images of blood arteries, tissues, and organs using sound waves and a computer. It examines the size of the ovaries as well as the presence of cysts in them. It also provides information on the thickness of the endometrium (inner lining of the uterus).\r\nBlood tests: These tests provide information on the levels of androgen and other hormones in women. Additionally, it may provide information on blood glucose, cholesterol, and thyroid levels.\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Treatment</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nThere is no treatment available for PCOS as such. However, the symptoms can be treated and managed well. Infertility treatment caused by PCOS involves correcting ovulation issues and tackling metabolic problems, such as insulin resistance. If you have a BMI of 30 or above, your healthcare professional may advise you to lose weight by adopting a healthy eating pattern and regular exercise.\r\nIf you don’t wish to become pregnant, hormonal birth control pills may be helpful. However, a few treatments that may help you ovulate and conceive include:\r\nMedicines that stimulate ovulation (releasing an egg)\r\nThese medications work by stimulating the ovary to grow eggs. These are taken once a day for five days at the start of your menstrual cycle.\r\nThese drugs work quite effectively in helping women with PCOS to ovulate. However, these are started at the lowest possible dose and increased as needed, by your healthcare practitioner.\r\nInsulin-sensitizing drugs\r\nThese medications are effective in women with insulin resistance - a condition where insulin fails to act in the body. These drugs aren’t first-line treatments for PCOS but can be used to encourage regular periods and ovulation. They may not be as effective as other treatments of PCOS in helping women to become pregnant but can stimulate ovulation.\r\nHormone injections\r\nThese are injectable hormones that facilitate ovarian stimulation and ovulation. This treatment may require frequent doctor visits to monitor your body’s response to the drug.\r\nSurgery\r\nSurgery in the form of laparoscopic ovarian drilling is recommended for patients who do not respond to medications. Although rare, it may be an option.\r\n\r\n<strong>Complications of PCOS</strong>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1056416111.png\" alt=\"Depressed Woman Awaked at Night - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\nIf left untreated, women with PCOS may be likely to develop serious health conditions such as\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Type 2 diabetes mellitus</li>\r\n 	<li>High blood pressure</li>\r\n 	<li>Heart diseases</li>\r\n 	<li>Sleep disorders</li>\r\n 	<li>Depression and anxiety</li>\r\n 	<li>Infertility</li>\r\n 	<li>Uterine cancer</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nPCOS is a common hormonal problem in women of childbearing age these days. It affects the menstrual cycle and causes many symptoms. It is best to speak with a healthcare provider if you believe you are experiencing any PCOS-related symptoms. You can control the symptoms, reduce risk factors, and increase your chances of getting pregnant with the help of medical interventions and lifestyle modifications.\r\nNU Hospitals located in Bangalore, India provides special effective treatment for PCOS by well-trained doctors to handle even the most delicate cases with expertise.

ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a health condition that affects women of childbearing age. In this condition, the ovaries tend to produce excess androgens, a male sex hormone that is usually present in small amounts in women. The name, polycystic ovarian syndrome, describes numerous small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) in the ovaries. However, these are different from the other ovarian cysts which require surgery. PCOS can have an impact on a woman’s overall health as well as their physical appearance. Although common, PCOS is often a treatable condition.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Impact of PCOS on Fertility</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1561328644.png\" alt=\"Missed Period Marking on Calender - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nHormonal imbalances in women may result in excessive amounts of androgens, the formation of cysts in the ovaries, the thickening of the outer well of the ovaries, and insulin resistance. All these changes can interfere with the process of ovulation in women. One of the common signs to understand this is missed or irregular periods.\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Signs and symptoms</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2047682852.png\" alt=\"Lady Squeezing her Pimples - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\nThe symptoms of PCOS may include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Missed or irregular periods</li>\r\n 	<li>Infertility</li>\r\n 	<li>Skin tags</li>\r\n 	<li>Acne or oily skin</li>\r\n 	<li>Ovaries that are large or have several cysts</li>\r\n 	<li>Excess body hair (hirsutism)</li>\r\n 	<li>Male pattern baldness or thinning of hair</li>\r\n 	<li>Dark or thick skin patches at the back of the neck, in the armpits, and under the breast</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Causes</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_2146470515.png\" alt=\"Blood Samples for Testosterone Test - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nThe exact cause of PCOS still remains unclear. However, it has been shown that most women with PCOS have insulin resistance, which means their bodies cannot utilize insulin effectively. Accumulated insulin levels in the body lead to potential rise in androgen levels. Obesity can also raise insulin levels, worsening PCOS symptoms.\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Diagnosis</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1482452312.png\" alt=\"Ultrasound Examination of Women\'s Pelvic - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nPCOS is diagnosed in the following ways:\r\nTo begin with, your healthcare provider will take your complete medical history along with your symptoms. Following that, you will have to undergo a thorough physical examination, especially of the pelvic region. This includes checking the reproductive organs closely.\r\nA few additional tests may also be ordered to confirm the diagnosis. These include:\r\nPelvic ultrasound: This test creates images of blood arteries, tissues, and organs using sound waves and a computer. It examines the size of the ovaries as well as the presence of cysts in them. It also provides information on the thickness of the endometrium (inner lining of the uterus).\r\nBlood tests: These tests provide information on the levels of androgen and other hormones in women. Additionally, it may provide information on blood glucose, cholesterol, and thyroid levels.\r\n<h3 style=\"width: 100%;\">Treatment</h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1562123077.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\nThere is no treatment available for PCOS as such. However, the symptoms can be treated and managed well. Infertility treatment caused by PCOS involves correcting ovulation issues and tackling metabolic problems, such as insulin resistance. If you have a BMI of 30 or above, your healthcare professional may advise you to lose weight by adopting a healthy eating pattern and regular exercise.\r\nIf you don’t wish to become pregnant, hormonal birth control pills may be helpful. However, a few treatments that may help you ovulate and conceive include:\r\nMedicines that stimulate ovulation (releasing an egg)\r\nThese medications work by stimulating the ovary to grow eggs. These are taken once a day for five days at the start of your menstrual cycle.\r\nThese drugs work quite effectively in helping women with PCOS to ovulate. However, these are started at the lowest possible dose and increased as needed, by your healthcare practitioner.\r\nInsulin-sensitizing drugs\r\nThese medications are effective in women with insulin resistance - a condition where insulin fails to act in the body. These drugs aren’t first-line treatments for PCOS but can be used to encourage regular periods and ovulation. They may not be as effective as other treatments of PCOS in helping women to become pregnant but can stimulate ovulation.\r\nHormone injections\r\nThese are injectable hormones that facilitate ovarian stimulation and ovulation. This treatment may require frequent doctor visits to monitor your body’s response to the drug.\r\nSurgery\r\nSurgery in the form of laparoscopic ovarian drilling is recommended for patients who do not respond to medications. Although rare, it may be an option.\r\n\r\n<strong>Complications of PCOS</strong>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1056416111.png\" alt=\"Depressed Woman Awaked at Night - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\nIf left untreated, women with PCOS may be likely to develop serious health conditions such as\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Type 2 diabetes mellitus</li>\r\n 	<li>High blood pressure</li>\r\n 	<li>Heart diseases</li>\r\n 	<li>Sleep disorders</li>\r\n 	<li>Depression and anxiety</li>\r\n 	<li>Infertility</li>\r\n 	<li>Uterine cancer</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nPCOS is a common hormonal problem in women of childbearing age these days. It affects the menstrual cycle and causes many symptoms. It is best to speak with a healthcare provider if you believe you are experiencing any PCOS-related symptoms. You can control the symptoms, reduce risk factors, and increase your chances of getting pregnant with the help of medical interventions and lifestyle modifications.\r\nNU Hospitals located in Bangalore, India provides special effective treatment for PCOS by well-trained doctors to handle even the most delicate cases with expertise.

an egg is combined with a sperm under in vitro or laboratory conditions. This technique is a boon for all those childless couples who have failed to conceive and give birth to a baby through the natural process. IVF is especially beneficial in case of PCOS, blocked uterine tubes, fibroids, endometriosis, low ovarian reserve, and poor egg or sperm health. However, sometimes this procedure may not work out as planned and result in a failed IVF. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h3>Common reasons for IVF failure</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\">\r\n\r\nThis section talks about the many reasons that can contribute to a failed IVF procedure. Each of these causes of failure are dealt with in detail as mentioned below:\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Age of female: </li>Women above the age of 35 often find it difficult to conceive. The quality and quantity of the egg also deteriorate with advancing age, making your chances of becoming pregnant less. It is noted that live birth rates for IVF are only 40% for women above the age of 35 years. \r\n<li>Quality of embryo: </li>This is one of the leading causes of IVF failure. The embryos may appear to be healthy under laboratory conditions but they fail to get implanted into the uterus as they do not get the right environment to grow. \r\n<li>Ovarian response: </li>IVF treatment requires a woman to daily inject a fertility hormone called follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). This hormone is responsible for increasing egg production. Sometimes, the woman’s ovaries do not respond in the way expected and thus, fail to produce multiple eggs for collection. Older women are more prone to have this condition of low ovarian reserve.\r\n<li>Implantation failure: </li>If the egg fails to get implanted in the uterus, the IVF fails. Several reasons could contribute to the failure of implantation including a premature increase in progesterone levels, infection of the uterus, presence of uterine polyps, or an endometrial lining that is too thin. \r\n<li>Autoimmune disorders: </li>An autoimmune disorder can also cause the embryo implantation to fail as the antibodies may start attacking healthy cells or tissues. In the case of IVF (embryo implantation), the immune system may mistakenly recognize the embryo as invading tissues and attack it.\r\n<li>Chromosomal issues: </li>It is characterized by the presence of an extra or missing chromosome and is often, one of the major causes for IVF implantation failures. Women in their mid or late 30s are most likely to develop chromosomal abnormalities. Therefore, women who have had multiple implantation failures, are generally advised to undergo preimplantation genetic screening.\r\n<li>Sperm abnormality: </li>Any irregularity in the structure of the sperm will lead to an unfertilized egg as the sperm fails to penetrate the egg’s outer membrane. This results in the failure of the IVF procedure. \r\n<li>Lifestyle:</li> Unhealthy lifestyle practices such as smoking that fertility specialists advise to get rid of in case of natural pregnancies, also apply to women who undergo an IVF. Consumption of alcohol and having a bad nutritional diet are also contributing factors to multiple conception failures. IVF cycle outcomes can also be affected if the woman undergoing IVF is underweight or overweight.\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>After IVF failure: What next?</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1470930050.png\">\r\nIf your first IVF cycle has failed, it may be useful to find out the reason behind its failure. It may have been due to the woman’s maternal age, cause and duration of infertility, history of previous pregnancies, male factor (sperm count and quality), and lifestyle influence. The younger the age of the woman, the greater is the possibility of an IVF to succeed. A woman in her 20s has 60-70% higher chances of conceiving in the very first in-vitro cycle. In case of a first-time IVF failure, your fertility specialist would generally recommend you to undergo another cycle because with every cycle, the chances of a woman to conceive become more. \r\nIn case of two failed in-vitro cycles, the couple needs to undergo another cycle, after determining the cause of failure during the previous two cycles. However, a third-time IVF failure can only mean an underlying condition that is disrupting the in-vitro implantation, leading to repeated failure. In such cases, it is advisable to opt for a more specific and advanced pregnancy treatment.\r\n\r\n<h3>Advanced treatments after multiple IVF failures</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1303695934.png\">\r\n\r\nDespite having recurrent IVF failures, there is still hope of conceiving with the other advanced treatment options now available. These pregnancy procedures can be carried out once your fertility specialist has analyzed your previous cycles to rule out the reason behind the IVF failure. \r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Frozen embryo transfer:</li> FET is a procedure in which healthy embryos (blastocysts) from a previous in-vitro cycle are frozen and preserved for use at a later time. This technique is fast gaining popularity over conventional in-vitro cycles. \r\n<li>Intracytoplasmic sperm injection: </li>Often abbreviated as ICSI, this is an advancement in the conventional IVF procedure. During this procedure, the egg is directly fertilized by injecting with a single live sperm. ICSI is a good option for couples where the male suffers from male factor infertility. \r\n<li>Intracytoplasmic morphologically-selected sperm injection: </li>IMSI is another advancement in the traditional IVF procedure. It is similar to ICSI except that in IMSI, the sperm is first analyzed under high magnification to select only the sperm which has the best morphology. This procedure is helpful in case the male partner’s sperm has quality issues. \r\nTreatment of immunological causes of infertility before proceeding with the next cycle.\r\nPreimplantation genetic testing of embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before embryo transfer.\r\n\r\nWith the latest medical advancements in the field of fertility treatment, it is now possible for a woman to conceive in spite of multiple IVF failures. However, it is important to let your fertility specialist run a battery of tests on you and your partner to ascertain the cause behind IVF failure.

an egg is combined with a sperm under in vitro or laboratory conditions. This technique is a boon for all those childless couples who have failed to conceive and give birth to a baby through the natural process. IVF is especially beneficial in case of PCOS, blocked uterine tubes, fibroids, endometriosis, low ovarian reserve, and poor egg or sperm health. However, sometimes this procedure may not work out as planned and result in a failed IVF. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Common reasons for IVF failure</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1835827393.png\">\r\n\r\nThis section talks about the many reasons that can contribute to a failed IVF procedure. Each of these causes of failure are dealt with in detail as mentioned below:\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Age of female: </li>Women above the age of 35 often find it difficult to conceive. The quality and quantity of the egg also deteriorate with advancing age, making your chances of becoming pregnant less. It is noted that live birth rates for IVF are only 40% for women above the age of 35 years. \r\n<li>Quality of embryo: </li>This is one of the leading causes of IVF failure. The embryos may appear to be healthy under laboratory conditions but they fail to get implanted into the uterus as they do not get the right environment to grow. \r\n<li>Ovarian response: </li>IVF treatment requires a woman to daily inject a fertility hormone called follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). This hormone is responsible for increasing egg production. Sometimes, the woman’s ovaries do not respond in the way expected and thus, fail to produce multiple eggs for collection. Older women are more prone to have this condition of low ovarian reserve.\r\n<li>Implantation failure: </li>If the egg fails to get implanted in the uterus, the IVF fails. Several reasons could contribute to the failure of implantation including a premature increase in progesterone levels, infection of the uterus, presence of uterine polyps, or an endometrial lining that is too thin. \r\n<li>Autoimmune disorders: </li>An autoimmune disorder can also cause the embryo implantation to fail as the antibodies may start attacking healthy cells or tissues. In the case of IVF (embryo implantation), the immune system may mistakenly recognize the embryo as invading tissues and attack it.\r\n<li>Chromosomal issues: </li>It is characterized by the presence of an extra or missing chromosome and is often, one of the major causes for IVF implantation failures. Women in their mid or late 30s are most likely to develop chromosomal abnormalities. Therefore, women who have had multiple implantation failures, are generally advised to undergo preimplantation genetic screening.\r\n<li>Sperm abnormality: </li>Any irregularity in the structure of the sperm will lead to an unfertilized egg as the sperm fails to penetrate the egg’s outer membrane. This results in the failure of the IVF procedure. \r\n<li>Lifestyle:</li> Unhealthy lifestyle practices such as smoking that fertility specialists advise to get rid of in case of natural pregnancies, also apply to women who undergo an IVF. Consumption of alcohol and having a bad nutritional diet are also contributing factors to multiple conception failures. IVF cycle outcomes can also be affected if the woman undergoing IVF is underweight or overweight.\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">After IVF failure: What next?</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1470930050.png\">\r\nIf your first IVF cycle has failed, it may be useful to find out the reason behind its failure. It may have been due to the woman’s maternal age, cause and duration of infertility, history of previous pregnancies, male factor (sperm count and quality), and lifestyle influence. The younger the age of the woman, the greater is the possibility of an IVF to succeed. A woman in her 20s has 60-70% higher chances of conceiving in the very first in-vitro cycle. In case of a first-time IVF failure, your fertility specialist would generally recommend you to undergo another cycle because with every cycle, the chances of a woman to conceive become more. \r\nIn case of two failed in-vitro cycles, the couple needs to undergo another cycle, after determining the cause of failure during the previous two cycles. However, a third-time IVF failure can only mean an underlying condition that is disrupting the in-vitro implantation, leading to repeated failure. In such cases, it is advisable to opt for a more specific and advanced pregnancy treatment.\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"width:100%;\">Advanced treatments after multiple IVF failures</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shutterstock_1303695934.png\">\r\n\r\nDespite having recurrent IVF failures, there is still hope of conceiving with the other advanced treatment options now available. These pregnancy procedures can be carried out once your fertility specialist has analyzed your previous cycles to rule out the reason behind the IVF failure. \r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Frozen embryo transfer:</li> FET is a procedure in which healthy embryos (blastocysts) from a previous in-vitro cycle are frozen and preserved for use at a later time. This technique is fast gaining popularity over conventional in-vitro cycles. \r\n<li>Intracytoplasmic sperm injection: </li>Often abbreviated as ICSI, this is an advancement in the conventional IVF procedure. During this procedure, the egg is directly fertilized by injecting with a single live sperm. ICSI is a good option for couples where the male suffers from male factor infertility. \r\n<li>Intracytoplasmic morphologically-selected sperm injection: </li>IMSI is another advancement in the traditional IVF procedure. It is similar to ICSI except that in IMSI, the sperm is first analyzed under high magnification to select only the sperm which has the best morphology. This procedure is helpful in case the male partner’s sperm has quality issues. \r\nTreatment of immunological causes of infertility before proceeding with the next cycle.\r\nPreimplantation genetic testing of embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before embryo transfer.\r\n\r\nWith the latest medical advancements in the field of fertility treatment, it is now possible for a woman to conceive in spite of multiple IVF failures. However, it is important to let your fertility specialist run a battery of tests on you and your partner to ascertain the cause behind IVF failure.
